Scored this 3090 and ordered some copper shims and PTM, is there anything I should note? (Sizes ordered: 15×15 1.5mm + 15×15 1.0mm)

Get yourself some good thermal putty for the VRM/VRAM, like Thermal Grizzly Putty Pro.
You may also want to deshroud the card, use fans like Arctic P12 Pro. The airflow + static pressure is much higher, even at low noise levels.
You’ll want to ensure shims are flush on chips and not putting pressure on any surface mount resistors nearby. They can shift during mounting too – overall you need to be very careful.
