I think the plastic piece is there to make it easier to center the strut into the tube when closing the hood so I wouldn't want to remove it.
You have a choice. Keep your orange tab (first one I've ever seen) and have a hood that can/will fall at anytime on you or others or remove the orange piece and have a safe to work around hood.
My previous post about returning the anti-fall hood prop key still stands. Remember that the intent of this key is as a safety device.
