Clutch installed back

I installed the stage three clutch backwards and drove on it for 100 miles.
When I first put the transmission on, it didn’t slide in all the way there was a small gap and I thought it was fine so I just tighten the bolts and basically pulled the transmission flush with the engine with the bolts, which is not what you’re supposed to do.
I pulled the the transmission, it came out fine. The clutch doesn’t look damage, there is just a tiny bit of shavings around where the input shaft goes like the edge just needs to be deburred. There is also a little bit of shiny black dust on the pressure plate.
Should I reuse this clutch or should I just get a new one? I can just order the same one again, clutch and flywheel for $300. This is for cheap drift car
The first picture is how it’s supposed to be install, I found a YouTube video that used the same exact clutch. Second picture is from a video I recorded of mine.
