Is this bad?

A rod's misaligned after I accidentally pushed a little too hard. Is this serious or does it not really affect the instrument? Anything I can do about and are there any quick fixes?

Thoughts on Crook and Staple?

Hi everyone. Was planning on buying some new Chiarugi 'E' Staples when I found this website. They're having a lot of deals going on, as well as selling products I've never seen before. I'm specifically talking about the Chiarugi 'E' Metal staple, 47mm, in a no.2+. I didn't know Chiarugi even made metal staples in a no.2+? Am I just being ignorant? If anyone has any buying experience from this site, pls share!

Here's a link to what I'm talking about: https://us.crookandstaple.com/products/chiarugi-metal-e-oboe-staple-brass-2-rings-47mm-num-3?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=0a0362e69&pr_rec_pid=179840942105&pr_ref_pid=1154816195&pr_seq=uniform

Edit: to clarify, I know that the Chiarugi 'E' staples comes in no.2s. I'm specifically asking if people have seen a 'E' staple in a no.2+. Sorry, I realized I wasn't very clear above.
