You'll be ok. It has no place to go but back into it's hole. You may need to give it a few degrees rotation to get it completely seated. You will know if this is the case if you can't completely drop the distributor into place.

Hit the key the shaft will seat, the distributor will drop into place. Recheck the rotor location and tighten up the distributor. You may need to reposition the rotor a time or two to account for the gear seating into the cam.
