New slide in oven install

Question

I’m Installing a new slide in GE Gas oven and the gas line is located higher on the wall than usual.
This is forcing the oven forward an extra inch.
Can I remove back plate so the oven sits more flush with  the wall and safely operate the oven?

No, don't screw with the appliance, you'll kill your warranty when they send out a repairman...very likely with appliances today.
Your best approach would be to put an elbow on the gas line and send the line along the wall rather than straight out of it. If there isn't currently a shut-off valve behind the oven, then install one...unless the shut-off elsewhere is VERY easily accessible and ALWAYS clear.
