You're set for good long time. Drive it hard and sleep easy.

My understanding is that inner (bottom) paddles on each bank (the two on the left, in the photo below), were the two that had the most damage.

The link below from pelicanparts.com, shows both the outer (top) and inner (bottom) paddles, with the outer (top) paddle being the one closest to the person's hand.

The photo below, shows the outer (top) paddle on I believe bank 1 of my car, which did not have nearly as much damage as the two inner (bottom) paddles.
