I was repairing a 2014 15" MacBook Pro and accidentally removed the black sticker/tape that was surrounding the cpu or gpu, could this cause any problems or can I reassemble the machine as normal? if this could cause a problem could I replace this with something like electrical tape?

Looking at this image can you tell us where you found the black tape

it was around the dies on the large chip in the center that has 2 die sections, I assume it was either for heat dissipation or to prevent it shorting on the heat sink.
@jude85858 - Ok, the issue here is this is a thin piece of heat resistant bakelite which is why it crumbled when you lift it off as it’s not very strong. Electricians tape is not what I would use, I would use kapton tape (polyimide tape) likely a few layers as it tends to be thin.
Ok, thank you! I just ordered some.
