Bad cpu fan installation?

Hi, i disassembled my cpu fan (stock intel cooler) because i was cleaning the dust that i had in my rig. I've had this cpu since 1/1,5 tears ago and i didn't install it myself the first time so this was my first time installing the cpu fan. After toying around with the locks a bit i figured out how to assemble it and i did. It seems like it's working fine but when i turn on the pc an error screen appears saying that there is a cpu fan errror, i press f1 to set up discard changes and windows boots normally. I checked the temps and they are around 30~35 8n idle, pretty normal to me (i5 3330 @3ghz, no oc nor anything unusual) so should i worry?

Btw i didn't have thermal paste handy so i let the stock one

You mean like the connector in the mobo? I plugged it in the 4 pin fan connector but i didn't read the label.

i think it's the only connector tho

Very normal, you don't need to change anything.

That could be because fan has too low starting RPM. You can disable warning somewhere in BIOS.
