Hello, everyone!

I bought a new cpu/mobo/RAM kit recently, and I'm waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime, I decided to clean up my whole case and fans. Since I had no compressed air can handy to do a proper PSU clean-up, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least dust off the fan. So I removed only the grill of my CX600 and dusted the blades off, no problem. However, when putting the grill back on, I noticed that the plastic cover that separates the fan from the caps, circuit board etc. was a little bent inward, dangerously approaching what seems to be two heatfins. Now I have no system to actually test the psu on, and I'm - maybe paranoiacly - afraid the contact the cover is making with one of these two pieces will ruin my components AND psu.
I'm sending pictures of the whole dilemma. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

if you are that afraid of it i would suggest getting very hot water and try to dip and manipulate the plastic back to where it's suposed to be a a hairdryer will work as well but with that you have more potential to burn to part than with the almost boiling water
