Question JWT pop charger damage? (pics)

Just got my pop charger today from CZP and I noticed some slight damage (maybe?) on it. It doesn't look like much but I'm wondering if it'll impact the performance or if I should return it.

You can see the small dent in the pics (on the right near the top) and also the grooves at the top are not straight.

Is that common and will it be okay? I'm picky and have a little OCD and I like to have things look (and perform) well, but if you experts think it's fine then I'm cool with it.

Thanks.

I have more than 2 wrinkles

How about the dent? Not a problem? Just don't want any long term effects.

I'm a rookie when it comes to modding so I'm still learning.

That's nothing. You're good. Put that side on the bottom so you can't see it.

Finished installing today. I read the thread about the AC line rubbing, but I'm not sure where. Can you guys point it out on mine? Not sure if it's already enough clearance or not.

BTW It looks like I installed that rubber trim upside down. Or does it matter?

Doesn't matter, the heat shield on the pop is a joke anyway.
