koo ,thnks homie...much appreciatedyeah man your plants look fine. any bending and trimming or snipping should be done in the Vegetative state, you should plan ahead next time.
also, a little bending or trimming in Flowering will always be at least a little detrimental to your plant growth, but bending would definitely be a lot less impacting

Hi. What you can do, instead of trimming the leaf, if it's still nice and green - is just to bend it out of the way, tuck it under something. That way the plant will be able to take back the chlorophyll, and use it for new growth.
This only makes sense if you have time to fuzz over a few plants and light is at a premium, and it doesn't even look all that pretty while the leaf is wilting. But - if you allow the leaf to wilt on the plant, rather than cut them off green, you're letting her conserve her most precious commodity, chlorophyll.

The really large fan leaves tuck so nicely under the newly developing under-branches... there's really no need to trim... Ever. I even leave the leaves that are discoloring... sure, they're not at full production, but they're doing more FOR my plant ON my plant than if I cut them off... it's not like they're diseased and will infect the rest of the plant.
In truth, the only leaves you should ever cut off are the ones with the growing shoot.
