Bricked Pro Duo

So I bricked my Pro Duo. The HBM clock on these cards is locked so the only way to change the clock is through the BIOS, I was stable at 575MHz with 1.275V on the memory and raised the clock speed to 585 a few days ago and the card wouldn't boot anymore. That's fine I have a dual BIOS right? Well, apparently that isnt working for some reason. I tried the refreshing the stock BIOS on with no luck, tried shorting BIOS rom pins, and tried the SPI Flash tool were you directly connect to the ROM all with no luck. Now my only option seems to be a ROM replacement but I noticed these contacts covered in some kind of yellow strip. Does anyone know what these contacts are for or if they might help in some way with what I'm trying to do?

Is that yellow bit on all four corners of the die, or just on that one? It might be there to prevent contact between the retention mechanism and the PCB.

The yellow is only on a few contacts underneath the GPU cores
