Leave them in - sounds like they are fine.
Usually if they land wrong, the insulator is cracked or the earth terminal bent, but you did not find anything like that.

I believe it is the "heat range" of the plug. That determines the temperature of the electrode in service. Changing the length of the center electrode affects how fast heat is conducted away from it. Long ago when many cars burned oil , a "hot" plug was recommended for a oil burner to burn carbon off the electrode.
