I’ve just bought a bike for the frameset for a 1x commuter beater project. It’s a Pinnacle Arkose from ~2015. Alloy frame, fully carbon fork and steerer. I took the fork off to replace the gritty headset bearings and notice that they've used a metal star nut and that it's not centred properly.

This is the fork the bike originally came with. Should I be worried/try to remove it and replace with a proper carbon compression plug I have? I've seen people gently drill out the top rivet on the nut to then remove, but the headset can be tightened fully so maybe just leave it?

Cheers
