If the Display Clamshell lid opens & closes properly and is able to fully close, then you may as well just let it go for now unless you have AppleCare+ coverage to defray the accidental damage repair cost. The damage is done and the repair cost will be the same now as it will be months from now (generally Apple's part & repair pricing doesn't change that often).


Oh, check to make sure the Lid Angle Sensor is still working by closing the Display Clamshell lid. As you get nearly to the full close position, the display should go dark & sleep, then come back on once you open the lid about a 1/4 inch.
