EK 1080 ti Backplate Compatibility

I recently purchased an EK-FC GTX waterblock for my EVGA 1080 ti SC2, and got a backplate with it to replace the stock one. I accidentally clicked the 1080 version instead of the 1080 ti version, and it looks like the cut outs are slightly different. Will this cause a problem? I don't want to damage any SMD's. Alternatively, is it possible to use the EVGA backplate with the EK block?

With the right screws you can the stock plate. 
But depending on the actual card variant, an fe 1080 plate can still work. Blocks were the same aside from one part for the dvi variants.
