Opps! 1mz-fe oil filter on 5s-fe. Should I be worried?

I changed my oil yesterday on my 2000 Camry with a 5s-fe engine. As I was turning into my driveway I suddenly realized I had used the wrong oil filter. I put a 1mz-fe filter on. Should I be worried. I've already driven 100 miles. The filter is not leaking. I've compared the two filters and the 1mz-fe filter has a slightly larger diameter gasket. But like I said the filter is not leaking. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks

No worries.
I do this to reduce types of filters I keep on hand.

nah, it will work fine. as you noticed the only real difference is the diameter of gasket at base, other specs are very similar (oil flow rate, bypass valve pressure, etc.)

No worries. The older 3SFE had an oil filter similar to the standard V6 sized one. Others have used a larger -YZZD3 size filter for the V6. The only disadvantage is longer initial fill time or if the 5SFE has a drain-back problem (even with OEM filters overnight). Otherwise Motorcraft FL400S oil filter should work fine for both.
