Hello,
It looks like the black material is a cover for either speakers or microphones. If you damaged it you may have also damaged the technology below it. This also could have an affect on the sweat and water resistance of the AirPod. I believe your best course of action would be seeking a repair/replacement of the damaged AirPod.
