Did I ruin my Septoplasty by trying to pick out my splints?

The night that I got my surgery I was half asleep and on pain pills and I tried to pick out my splints. I guess I just thought they were boogers or something. I didn't feel any pain any pain or bleeding after I did it and I stopped as soon as I realized what I was doing. It was only for a minute but I'm scared that the pressure of me trying to pick them out could've shifted my septum or something. I really hope that I didn't ruin it.
