Stresses, yes, problems, highly unlikely. An RC&S board with 
an absolute minimum internal compression is most likely 
stressed more by forcing the roughly cylindrically formed 
assembly onto a flat rasten in the front treble and bass tail. 
Functionally, I'd call it a non event. The stresses are small, 
and the spruce will comply.
