It looks so annoying.. my main concern, is, if I don’t get it to sit right, will it cause my pc components issues long term?

What is the make and model of your case? Why does it look like you tugged at the central portion of the top panel in order to cause it to warp?

Make and model case?

Take a couple more photographs with less glare and more focus on where the gaps and cracks are....

Premise being that the top pc case did sit right before cleaning - correct?

Key is to not force fit the top back into place. Discover why the top does not go into place again.

If so, take the top off again and inspect top and sides for anything that may be getting in the way of a proper reseat.

Some piece of debris, a wire, something bent or out of alignment.

For the most part, many cases tend to be flimsy and simply go "out of shape" when opened up or otherwise taken apart.

It may take an extra set of hands to carefully shape or hold the case square in order to reset the top.

Take your time, be careful.

Unlikely that the top being "off" will affect any components. Could be a bit more noisy....
