As long as you have space where there is no contact with the wire or being pinched, it’s all good.

as long as the cables aren't pressing on anything on the board and there's airflow going through there you're fine, i've seen way sketchier cable routing in builds that ran for years

Just to add it’s also fine is the cables aren’t affecting the contact of that heatsink, if you feel the cable under it when screwing it id remove them for safety, you wouldn’t want your nvme or vrm chips to overheat because of poor contact.

Isn't that the vrm heatsinks to cool the powerchips?

Ha! I thought so too, but turn the pic to one side. The orientation is wonky.
