Hmm. Maybe a microscopic movement, but really the seal only goes on one way, and those clips on the side hold it in place unless you forcibly remove it.
I imagine I could also put it back on with 9Nm of torque rather than 8Nm to help counter any small movement, but if the broken bit can stay down there, I can just wait until I have all the stuff I need.
