Broken Alternator B-post?

I want some people's opinions on this. I got a replacement alternator from Autozone online because it was easier than going to the store. Anyways, when it came the B-post has a crack in it and is slightly bent. I tried to wiggle it or move it and it is solid. Would it be better to bolt my B-post from previous alternator onto the new one, return it (ugh, long wait for the new one), or just leave it be? Picture below...

How is it a long wait for a new one? When I go to my local Autozone, if they don't have it, they order it and it's there the next day.

Takes at least three days to get here which means it would not be here until next week.

The store here orders it to the store and you pick it up... Your store sucks.

The Insulation Is cracked on the B Post...no big deal...you can either try straightening It out (seeing how It's still usable) or simply swap out your former one.

Some people when upgrading to a FD Alt, for example, have found that the B Post supplied with the Alt may have been cracked or bent beyond use. As a result thry swapped out their former FC Alt B Post with zero consequences.
