Looks fine. Slightly wet but if you were sterile it shouldn't matter.
Though, are you using a dry verm barrier? Not seeing one. If not, it greatly increases the chance for an oopsie.

Silicone injection ports are really great, i also use them all the time and they give me great results everytime as long as I remember to wipe the ports with alcohol before injecting.
Is that white circle in the middle of your lid a filter? Are your jars getting GE?
I didn't do any cakes for some time but the inside of those jars seem kind of wet to me.

I used a lid tek that's been 100% succesful in the past. High temp silicone injection ports. With a tyvek filter gas exchange port in center of lid. Look at bottom pic.
I even built a sab to even further my cautiousness to prevent contamination.
I think I was. .9 ml of water over the reccomended water. Which I was worried about but I tried to overcome that issue by pressure cooking jars for 1.5 hours and letting jars sit in pressure cooker for 2 days before inoculation. Hoping the water content would drop a bit.

I mean, it's not too awful it looks like. And with the sound of it, you were pretty sterile. I think it'll be fine. But next time, use a dry vermiculite barrier. It'll guarantee any contaminants that may have fallen on the top will not get to the yummy nutrients and lie dormant on the top of the verm until you birth and scrape it off.

You think I should use dry verm barrier even though I have tyvek filter?

Yes. The Tyvek filter is not a SFD. If the microscopic holes in it are more than 3 microns, bacteria could get through it. Not easily, but they could. A Barrier would guarantee anything that has gotten through and landed on top stays there and doesn't chow down on your project. It's just an extra sterile safety precaution.

Having a verm barrier would do no harm. Actually if you had one it could retain the extra moisture you have in the jar besided its' protective properties (which I don't think you need if you use this kind of lids. But wouldn't hurt to have an extra barrier of protection)

You sure that's not bacteria? Can't tell from the pictures but you should look into it if they look like wet spots to you.

Wet spot is a pretty common bacteria. Unfortunately though it's one of the worst kind you can have, and it usually happens when your jars are too wet.
Bacillus.

Once it forms the jar is basically screwed. You can safely assume nothing will ever colonize.
