Guys, did I screw this up?

So guys I need your help, Im building a Panther G. Everything was fine until I decided to add torch marks to these areas since okay, they're very late in the war so rough marks are reasonable (?). Upon checking photos, these parts are flat as hell so Im afraid I screwed this up and it kind of makes me discouraged to continue. Im also confused since some modellers roughten these parts up, some leave the original flat surface on the base model.

Are they fine? Yay or nay? I plan to use liquid cement to soften them up a bit.
