Laptop fan cable touching top of heatsink and ssd.

I recently opened the heatsink on my laptop to respread its liquid metal. To do so I had to remove the fans and accidentally forgot to put the fan cables under the heatsink as it was originally. Is the fact that now the cable is touching the ssd, and the top instead of the bottom of the heatsink a problem? Pics related are how it looks like currently.

Also, because it may not be clearly evident from my word choice, I should mention that the cable was already touching the heatsink, just the bottom instead of the top (also pretty sure it was touching the ssd as well).

It’s shouldn’t be an issue, though I do believe it would be best to run the cable under the heat sink and ssd.
