If it's a tiny dent I wouldn't worry about it.
Perhaps you can back off the liner a little, trim the hole in the block off plate to be a bit larger, and seal the crack with furnace cement when it's done?
You should be able to push the dent out with your fingers once the block off plate is trimmed.
Whatever you do, check out the liner with an inspection camera after you push the insert into its final place and make sure it's not kinked there.
