That sucks man, don't know exactly what to tell you about damage, should be okay as far as I know, but hopefully someone will have something better to say. Next time buy a metal clamp, they stay on tight and don't need to do any gluing if that is what you did. (You can get that at any Home Depot or Lowes)
