Corsair h100i v2 Thermal Grease scratch

i accidently nicked off a smudge of the thermal compound when installing.
Should I not worry, put a little aftermarket compound on or do it over completely.
Not sure how to add a photo but it's very minor.
 
If you haven't finished assembly, it's pretty easy to just wipe and apply some more. If it's running and the temps are okay, why bother making any changes? It all depends on whether or not your temps are okay and if you want to be bothered with taking your system offline and replacing the thermal compound. I, personally, would not if it's running with decent temps for the setup.
 
So far it seems to be running well. Temps at idle are running around 23-30 degrees Celsius on the CPU and the Cooler is around the same idle as well. Thanks for your input too!
