Did I damage my motherboard?

So the worst thing I could imagine happened while installing the heatsink to my motherboard. While screwing the heatsink in my screw driver slipped off the screw and hit part of the motherboard. I've discovered where it hit and it did make a tiny scratch luckily on a part of the board where nothing was or running through. Could this have damaged my board?

A mobo printed circuit board has a layer called a solder mask covering everything except were connections are made. You would have to scrape through it before you actually damage the copper traces underneath. If you did that, there would be visible damage. Hope it all goes well.
