As they say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". You had a bent hanger and you straightened it. Now the shifting is as good or better than ever, so what's to fix?

2 things for future reference

1- it's easier and better for the RD to hand bend a hanger by sticking a hex key into the upper pivot bolt and levering from there.
2- anytime you tweak a hanger, you should confirm that the inner limit is properly adjusted because this is critical and the margin for error is tiny.

Otherwise you're good to go, but shouldn't talk about it because the purists will be all over you.
