Printed toy boat, warped bed plate of my MKS+

I'm new, got an assembled MK3S+ and I've been very happy with the prints and ease of use. I printed a toy boat model from 
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2631794
and it came out looking great. But there is a noticable warp in the steel bed plate where the stern of the boat was printed.
I used PrusaSlice, all the default settings. It took a bit over 5 hours to print.

I noticed the warp when I cleaned the plate for the next item to print.
Is this a concern? Did I do something wrong?

Does it look like the PEI Surface has been lifted a little? 

this sometimes happens when you get extremely good adhesion. 

A Picture would help us confirm this issue... 

If this is the case, turn the build plate over, print on the other side and the mark should disappear after a couple of heat cycles

Are you sure the print didn't lift at the corner?

yes, its a very slight bump up, you can see it at some specific angles and feel it.

The bottom of the plate seems flat.

I'll try using it upside down for the next few prints.

Thanks

No, I'm not sure that the print didn't lift. It took 5 hours so I went to do other things. When I got back, I just lifted the sheet, flexxed it and it popped off perfectly. It could have been lifted, I don't know.

 No RPi zero/octoprint yet.
