Light slipped

Hiya guys, my first time posting on here so forgive me if I say the wrong thing, I flipped the lights on my first plant to 12/12 2 weeks ago. I was moving the light today and it slipped down and proper bent up the top 4 inches of my plant. There were lots of pre flowers on this part. Id say 2 nodes affected. I have straightened it out and tied a small piece of bamboo along to hold it up. It has not fully snapped, and there only appears to be 1 small split on one side. Do you think the plant will be alright? Sorry for lack of pictures, the lights had to go off 5 minutes after.

Use some tape
Almost any kind will hold it like a bandage and it will be fine
EDIT
WELCOME to RIU :weed:

Should be fine, post a pic when you can. Some do what you did on purpose so don't sweat it, plants are tougher than you think. Welcome to RIU

It'll have zero effect
I broke a branch recently, only the outermost layer on one side was still connected. A month later, I can't tell which branch it was.

I split a stem in veg. I zip tied the break together. After a couple of weeks the split had healed into a knuckle.

Not a big deal it will be fine. Make sure with ratchet style hangers always pull to where they click before letting go of them. ;)
