I would recommend returning it for a better quality unit. The components in that psu isn't very reliable and may face potential issues later. Do you want to risk it? I wouldn't.

Seasonic Focus Plus is a decent psu. Any psu with good warranty will tell the story as was said in the below thread.

[SOLVED] - Is thermaltake 650w litepower a bad psu ?

Pc specs: GTX 1660 Ti Ryzen 5 2600 8GB RAM 3000mhz ASUS TUF B450 GAMING PLUS Thermaltake 650W Litepower The psu came with the case and i didn't think about double checking if it was good enough because i thought only wattage that matters But i read some mixed reviews Should i replace or is it...

It might not explode but if you keep using it, in 3-4 years you might be wondering why I'm bricking GPUs and motherboards faster than everyone else.

One more question, can a bad psu fail even if it is not under load ?, because my system uses 400watt max so the psu can't be overloaded

They can fail anytime.

I had one fail just by turning it on. Killed the motherboard.

It was a few years ago, Corsair CX600 green label.
But that comment was just to show that it does not have to be "under load" to kill something.
