Filament wiping blade impacting print

I did a print today and noticed that the filament wiping blade was impacting my prints. Thinking it was extruder specific, I switched to print on the other side and got the same results. I then proceeded to do a calibration test and full factory reset. Problem surfaced after all these attempts. Then I got to thinking if the filament wiping blade was suppose to be straight or slightly bent. I pushed the blade such that it bent back and not direct facing down as to hit the plate when printing and its now fixed.

I have a few questions:

  1. What is this blade suppose to look like when it’s properly installed (if I can find a reference image I can validate what it’s suppose be like in the correct state).
  2. Is it possible that someone (maybe my daughter when cleaning filament, might have pulled this down or another event in the print causing it to bend straight down)
  3. By me bending it back up (prints work now, but I’m not sure what harm it may do)

yeah that’s bent out of shape (it should cover the nozzle to prevent oozing), there’s a couple of replacements included in the accessories box, easy to swap out for a new one

Do you know what the part is officially called? I’m trying to find an image as a reference to see what it should look like. If it’s to protect from nozzle oozing, I’m wondering if I bent it the wrong direction! I pushed it back away from the nozzle, when I should have bent it forward towards the nozzle?

It’s this part.

On the Wiki page you can see that it touches the nozzle to prevent any oozing.
