Default Damaged Clutch Disc?

I received my new Z06 clutch yesterday from SDPC. Apparently, the box was tossed around pretty good, as the clutch disc hit the inside of the box hard. I'm concerned that it could effect performance or the life of the clutch. Please look at the attached pictures and tell me if I'm being too paranoid! Thank you.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. You could always send it back though to help you sleep better.

I know! It sucks, I certainly don't to have to pull it out again. I'm 99% sure it's fine. But, there is that slight doubt. Thanks.
