Dried silicone sealent bits inside engine

Like the title says, I was doing diy valve cover replacement on my 2009 bmw 128i with the n52 engine and as I was putting on the the new cover, a decent bit of dried silicone bits from the new gasket fell inside the engine. They are flaky and very small. Should i remove it and clean it before putting it back on? Or is it okay to leave it like this?
