Brake disk change - issues?

I changed my brakes disks and pads during the week. All went fine apart from the front drivers side disk. The two screws that hold the disk onto the hub were seized solid and the head rounded on them both. So I had to drill them out but due to the type of screw I could only get the heads off the screw. I got the disk off but the main body of the screws are still in the hub. So I put the new disk on but obviously was unable to secure the disk to hub.

So my question, it should be okay as is wont it? The disk is still held firmly in place by the calipers and obviously the wheel.
 
Yes, it's absolute fine.

A tip for the future, soak in shock and unlock, or any release agent, try and get it off by shocking it, rather than applying constant pressure.

Yup, just fine though take extra care whenever a wheel is replaced by evenly screwing each bolt to ensure the disc seats properly, as it will move about
 
As others have said the disc isn't going anywhere with wheel & caliper bolted in place but as you no it isn't how it was or should be . I personally would sort it for the long term.
