Front/rear stands usage

I am freaking out a little bit right now (human stupidity probably or 12 planets lining up i don't know)

I have a Venom front stand (like this one https://www.kapscomoto.com/product_p/smi3010.htm)

I took the bike off the front stand twice now and the right arm of the stand touched the brake disk on the side (i think the ground is not level so the levers turn to the left as i lower the stand). It did no rest on the disk nor there are any scratches or indentations on it.

Is there a cause for concern or am i too paranoid as i understand the disks don't like to be touched by anything other than the pads.
 
hmm ... actually you might be right. they could be too far.

i adjusted them such that the fork lies in the middle of the 2 prong arm for the stand. Maybe i need to bring them in a bit.

should i be worried it touched the brake disk?
 
The brake disks are steel...a touch will do nothing. Would have to hammer them pretty hard to make a dent/deflection.
