Default 08' Under headlight fairing tab break

Ok, so I'm in the process of removing the side fairings, when I come to the last part up under the headlight. There's this little rectangular clip holder for the tab of the mid fairing that connects under the left headlight area. Well as I was pulling, a corner piece of that little thing broke off. I feel like ****, but it doesn't look too severe. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, and if it's something that's very serious or not. Here are a few pictures I snapped.

Thanks in advance guys,

I am afraid of doing the same thing because that middle tab seems very fragile compare to other area. And it sucks that we have to take off side fairings do maintenance too. I think as long as all the bolts, screws and tabs are in, it should be ok. But the middle might have wider space on the side with broken tab.

Yeah I hear you on that, I put the bike together and took her out for a ride a few hours ago, you can't really tell unless you push it with your index finger and see how easy it moves between 2-3 mm back and forth, so not much of a big deal I guess, just one of those back of the mind annoying things to think about.
