Is this going to cause me problems?

So I am doing the retrogem mod for fat ps2 and it requires to remove some components. I used a little too much and flooded two vias with solder I managed to remove the solder from the vias I used a 30 awg wire to make sure there wasn't any solder in the holes the wire went through without resistance. There is some left on the surface and that is where the flex cable will go over. can I put solder mask on them it as a precaution?

@christophe89153 yes, you could "put solder mask on them it as a precaution" but going by your pictures, this really would not be necessary. Looks like the overflow has not done any harm to the vias.
