Forgot plate, damaged printing bed. How fucked am I? (lm.boing.icu)

I forgot to put back the metal plate on my Anycubic Kobra 2 and pressed print. Managed to stop it relatively quickly but still damaged the heating surface a bit and it chipped away some of the material as you can see. How fucked am I?

I am not familiar with your model of printer, but from looking at Google it looks like it's a typical FDM printer with a spring steel bed. These beds follow this pattern

Spring steel on top
Adhesive magnetic below that
Aluminum bed below that
Heater below that

So your heater is just fine and you gouged the magnet. I would remove any high points from the magnetic layer, so it doesn't push the spring steel up in that area, and carry on.
