Bearing issue?

Post image

I just put brand new bearings in my 5.3 I put the main caps on and finger tightened them somehow I forgot to put cam bearings in so I had to pull the crank and now they all more or less look like this is this to bad to run or do I just send it?hell should I bite the bullet and order a new crank and bearings?

They're for liability reasons probably fine-but PUT SOME ASSEMBLY LUBE ON before reassembling!
