Default Quick question about top hat

I was hammering out the studs on the top hat and friend didn't do so well on the other. On the top of where the bushing would sit, he hit the sides a little and it's now dented down some.

Is it anything to worry about? The bushing seems to sit fine in there still...

How dented is it? If its slight, and the bushing still seats well into it. you have nothing to worry about.

yUP...Put the shock assembly together and then determine if it could possibly interfere with anything.

It's not all pushed down to where the bushing wants to fall out. So I guess it's fine.
