So stupid of me but i went to plug in a USB device in my pc the wrong way in the port... Didn't push it in all the way but gave it a little force.... I've done this twice and was wondering if ther would be any damage? The port works fine it's probably just my OCD but was wondering if I should be worried if there could be any damage to the port or not haha thanks for the input
Solution
USB is meant to go in one way only. if it works it works.
be careful in the future, if the contact tab breaks the port will be useless.
for shroudless USB inserting backwards will not cause any problems.

if the unit is shroudless there is little chance of damage even when inserted upside down.
