iPhone lightning cable plugged at angle

I went to plug in my iPhone to charge and I had an Otterbox Defender on while I was doing so. Since the flap for accessing the lightning port was in the way, I tried to plug it in kind of at an angle. I had to use a lot of force to put it in and now I am worried that something inside the Lightning port may now be broken or bent. Is it possible to break something inside the Lightning port? Right now it still charges.
