Question Should I be worried about this RAM having been damaged during shipping?

I bought the RAM for my new PC from Newegg. They sent it in a bubble envelope.

There's no visible damage to either the RAM or the clamshell packaging and I was able to boot it up and install Windows so maybe I'm just needlessly fretting over this, but I figure it can't hurt to ask for a second opinion?

Should be fine unless you can see damage on the sticks themselves. Usually a bubble envelope would be fine in addition to the clam shell the sticks are in.

Do you notice any lateral crease on the envelop which may hint it was bent in any ways?

Id run a memtest64 just to be safe.
