That is odd on the strawberry patch but the dead spot looks like the exact spot I placed my finger to glue it down.. not sure why my finger would have caused that though.. strange, but with caps, even if just a tiny bit is left and alive it will grow back in a short time. If you wanted you could pull the cap off the plug and cut the 2 sides off that are still good and reglue those to 2 different plugs.. they will be very tiny but they will grow back for sure, or just leave it as is.. it will still grow back.
