Default 6 LED panel pressed against the plastic lens ok?

I just finished installing my interior and trunk bulb LEDs.
In the trunk light assembly I used a festoon adapter and 6 LED panel from VLEDS.The area is tight for a board/panel but I was able to tuck the panel under the festoon adapter piece but it's flush against the plastic lens.

Any problem with that or will there be a problem with the LED panel?

Been doing the same thing with no problems. I've also left my trunk open for 8+ hours (car shows) and no signs of damage on the inside of the lens.

I have a 6 LED panel in my trunk light for over 2 years now with no problems. LED's don't really run hot and with normal use, that light really won't be on for more than a few minutes at a time.

Good to know.I thought the LEDs would burn out because of the lack of any air space.
