I'd say you now have an expensive door stop sadly  
 
I wouldn't risk filing a closed loop back up manually, I'd say you will never get close to the same performance that it would offer. However should you want to risk it, you could try and fill it back up as best you can, seal it on tightly, tilt and shake it around to get the air bubbles gone.. open it back up and top off coolant, rince and repeat a few times until you're fairly confident there is little to no air pockets left.  It's not a typical reservoir where the air pockets will rise so any air bubbles left in that thing will be circling around the loop ultimately impacting performance.
 
Note that I don't recommend the latter but push comes to shove you could try it and monitor temps while running stress tests. I've had my fair share of expensive hits in my 20 odd years as a pc enthusiast, voided some warranty's and had to take the rough with the smooth and no matter how many years go past, its a bitter pill to swallow at the time
 

Closed water cooling kits are not designed to be opened. A loss of coolant will affect cooling performance in the long term, depending on the amount lost.
 
If the screw is not properly screwed in, a leak could destroy your system entirely.
 
Since you made an obvious improper operation, I reckon Corsair will void your warranty.
 
Personally, I would not trust a close loop kit that has experienced disassembly.

First and foremost W-L thanks for taking the time to reply to me I do appreciate you going out your way
 
been fairly busy recently with other things so got around to doing the following that you suggested to try eliminate this:
 
I tried using molex instead of the pwm using an adapter I had delivered but the same issue with the static/high pitch noise
I then ordered a replacement reservoir unit from amazon, as stripping out the pump is possible without having to drain it if you just lay it down flat and screw on the pump, that process was fine however the other pump had the same high pitch noise so I swapped the pump back out and returned the 2nd unit. I have seen people online speak about this noice when discussing DDC pumps so perhaps it's normal, and some people who are more succeptible to higher pitch noise frequency are able to hear it better than others.
 
I really love this distro plate but the more I googled online the more it seemed to be deemed as normal that DDC pumps do emit a high pitch noise during operation, so yesterday I contacted the company I bought the distro plate from and explained my issue and they agreed to RMA and refund it
 
I won't lie I'm pretty sad, I've ordered a EK quantum tbe 300 with D5 instead https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-quantum-kinetic-tbe-300-d5-pwm-d-rgb-pump-reservoir-combo-plexi-wc-9wv-ek.html which will be delivered tomorrow. I really wish I could've kept the distro plate though as its almost like a nice wee work of art and really made my first loop I've done feel complete
  

 
Everyone is of the same opinion online that I can see that a D5 is the way to go if you crave a more silent build (well obviously the pump will make a noise.. but not the electrical/static noise) the best way to describe it is, it was like a dampened version of the c1e issues some people have when its enabled and the computer is idling..  or a bit like very mild coil whine from a PSU (not to that extent.. but its ever present)

That's a whole lot of useless information in the post - we don't need your Windows, drive or network information here.
 
CPU load temps reach 83 - that's a bit on the high side.

There are still some bubbles but i got 99% taken care of. The build looks amazing now!

Hi Mick, 
 
I know its a bit late but it all fitted great, and i just wanted to say thanks, I love this case and im glad I stuck with it. It was a little bit close but i still have 1.5cm of space and the ambient and all other temps are great so it has no effect and I didnt have to put fans on the outside. I took your advice and changed to 3x 120 fans at front (added a seperate one above the 240mm radiator that came with the aorus 2080ti) and a larger 140mm exhaust to the rear of the case
 
Take care buddy
