Why can I not get the backing off without damaging the patch?

As you can see it sticks to the rim of the patch.
Had a different brand of patch years ago that had the backing pre cut and from memory they peeled easily.
I flex the patch before it is attached to loosen the backing and give it a bloody good rolling once attached.

your vulcanising fluid may have gone off, I always struggle more if the gunk isn't fresh and end up with similar issues, try leaving the patch for an hour or so before removing the plastic and get a new tin of fluid for next time

get a decent patch stitch roller, got one off ebay they come off easy then only cost a few quid.

get better patches too they come pre cut as above down the middle.
