Should I be worried about my SSD?

Recently I've gotten my Kingstone SSD, couple of months maybe. It worked great, but I now have a new computer and I must have accidentally strained the data connector in a way.

Anyway, this piece of plastic fell off:

So, what I did was check the pins if they were ok, one of them was bent, so I carefully put it in line with the other 6, then, I took the broken plastic, put it inside the data connector and carefully insterted it so all the pins connected where they should. It fit in solidly.

The SSD works now, I ran the windows test and it scored just the same, I made sure no cables are touching it to prevent it from moving in the future (the tower is closed of course). Do you think I should be worried about this?

You should be worried as far as being very careful with it. However, the pins are the important part and if they're ok then your SSD is fine. I suggest you make sure that it's not strained and is fitted securely.
