Cooler Master h55 no adhesive strips

So I am upgrading my motherboard and cpu and was going to use my h55 cooler with my new system. However I don't have the little adhesive strips that came with the cooler as they were ripped up trying to get them off my old motherboard. Would it be ok to just install the cooler again without the adhesive strips on the backplate?

They are mainly used to insulate behind the board to ensure it doesn't short out or damage the traces on the board and make installation easier, so I would recommend to get some replacement tape or just simply use some electrical tape against the metal bracket just as a precautionary measure.
