I do believe ABS might pull it off. its not touching IHS, but surrounding it, so it does get a minor benefit from the CPU cooler in addition to lack of IHS contact.
That said, my understanding with this is that its not intended to be installed permanently but rather a guard to place over when applying, or removing the paste. Once paste is in place, or cleaned off you remove the guard no? I wouldnt want any heat trapped underneath it as those cutout sections would allow even a small amount of heat to dissipate sideways
