Weird. No point in doing that.
That’s just needlessly large [silkscreen application](https://electrolube.com/knowledge_base/how-to-manually-apply-thermal-paste-interface-material-via-screen-printing/) of thermal compound. It’s not meant to touch the SMDs, nor would it provide any meaningful benefit if it did.
