Hinge slicing cables?

Opened in the laptop to replace the screen and noticed that the hinge appears to be slicing the shielding on the cables on the right (as there are 3?).

Anything to worry about?

More accurately I was going to use the word “nicking” but that might be a British English colloquialism as slicing sounds overly dramatic.

I also noticed this but attributed it to the power button assembly pushing down.

Edit: Image uploading isn’t working right now I will try and add an image later…

I sanded the metal edge a little and applied duct tape to add some more protection, you can see the indent indicated by the lower arrow. I noticed you see the same indents in Frameworks own guide (step 12). It is probably why there is an additional layer of insulation around the cables there.
