Did you ground yourself first, or wear an anti-static wristband while working with the motherboard?

I don't understand what's going on lol. If you didn't get too much motherboard on your blood it should be fine.

i didnt use an anti-static wristband  cause i dont have one, but i dont thing that i broke my motherboard

So you cut yourself on your motherboard...

You may have ESD'ed the motherboard. The only advice I can give is to get a plaster.

there is no backplate on most motherboards, except for some of the more expensive ones

If you didn't just absolutely repaint the board with blood then you should be fine, just make sure it isn't connecting any exposed metal pins/whatnot on the mobo. 

Are you sure your mobo came with a back-plate? If it isn't in the box and just cant be found you need to contact the seller/store/place you bought it from.

so i didnt damage anything right?

I am pretty sure you didn't, unless something came off the mobo, or you saw a spark and heard a zap. Just get on with the installing and find out, if it is broken RMA it.

if i broke something what i need to do?

Clean any blood from circuits before connecting power to it. Blood has some iron so it may conduct electricity. Otherwise should be no problems. If blood has dryed, you can gently scratch it off with soft paper towel. DON'T USE ANY liquid.

 

And yeah, no backplates in general for motherboards. Backplates are used for cooling like with GPUs and CPU coolers.
