If I made some mod. to my GPU 1080 Ti Strix by putting some thermal pads like 12w/mK (Non-Electrical Conductive and Non-Corrosive) 2mm thickness under that backplate somewhere under the vram and memory, would it do some bad to gpu like not spreading heat properly or something, or would it be good by lowering the temps on my gpu ?
 
I would think that if the thermal pads made a good connection to a heatsink, you'd be fine.
 
Shouldn't be an issue putting thermal pads (especially non-electrically conductive) on the back side of the PCB. I have a 1080ti FTW3 Hybrid that has thermal pads under it's backplate straight from EVGA just like you're describing.
