I know what you're talking about. Chances are that if you got the seal up onto the step properly you're aok. When I put mine in it went in sideways despite using the plastic (Lexan) and had to dig the new one out and replace it with another new one. Lesson learned is that it simply takes experience to do this right and being careful only gets you so far.
Also, I highly recommend you put something in front of the A/C condensor if you decide to take the seal back out again and replace it. My seal removal tool slipped and poked a hole in the condensor. Price to refill A/C with R-12: $300!!
