Mounted Motherboard without standoffs. Did I short it out?

This is my first build so I made a noob mistake and I installed my motherboard without standoffs (I, myself, was grounded at the time if that makes any difference). Then I read more into mobo installation and I realized that I needed to use standoffs, so I unscrewed the motherboard, screwed in the standoffs and remounted the motherboard. Will it be ok to use? Or did forgetting the standoffs the first time ruin the mobo?

Ok, I never applied power so that's good. It also seemed like the motherboard was slightly warping when I first installed it (without the standoffs). Would that damage it, too?
