Default Stock brake pad shims, reversed...nuts

After swapping back to my stock brake pads yesterday, i realized that I reversed the inner and outer shims on two of the rear pads. I'm going to switch back to track pads in a few weeks, so I'm feeling like I should just forget about the blunder and deal with it later.

Any consequence of reversing the inner and outer shims that I'm not aware of?

Doubt it. You might experience squeaking worst case.

Yeah. I couldn't think of anything terrible that could happen. They sit flush on each other regardless of which one is on top (that's what she said).
