Question Oil scraper piston ring

I'm currently putting back my engine together and when I inserted the last piston in the block I managed to damage the oil scraper ring . I'm planning on replacing the scraper ring on this piston only. Should I be concerned by replacing only this one? Or should I replace all scraper ring so they are all the same?

Thanks

How badly damaged?

In any case, I'd just replace the one if it needs it.

The scraper ring cannot be saved. It slipped out of the ring compressor and when I pushed the piston in, one end of the lower ring folded up and got nicked by the spacer between both ring. It also scratched the cylinder a bit but above the compression ring line.
