Is it normal for a few tiny wet spots on filter discs after sterilization?

Hey,
I did just the search to see if this has been asked before but found nothing.
This is my first run using synthetic filter discs as a filter for my jars and first time using rye.
Even though I put foil over the lids of my jars prior to sterilization and also used a rubber band to secure the foil over the lids when i took the jars out of the pressure cooker most of the jars had one or two tiny wet spots on the filter right by the edge of the metal rings that go around each jar?
I don't know how I can avoid this happening as all precautions were made? Will this matter though or will the tiny wet spots not be enough to contaminate the jars?

If the disk is allowed to dry it won’t be any issue. Bacteria cannot grow through a dry filter. Just don’t do anything stupid like put the foil back on after you inoculate.

also sounds like the SFD didn't fit those jars if you can see the edges. Most of them can only perfectly fit wide mouth mason jars.

Haha ok thanks man i figured I was good but just wanted to make sure. I'm imagining it's probably just condensation from the cycle that seeps inside the foil?
I placed dry metal lids over top of lids/filters while they dried out this morning to prevent any dust etc falling on to the filters while they had the wet spots is that ok or should I just remove let them air dry?

No you misunderstood what I said. The discs fit perfectly I'm saying the spot where I see to tiny water marks is where the inside edge of the metal ring overlaps the filter disc.

idk the outer lids weren't sterilized so something might crawl onto the SFD's

You aren’t reading what he is saying. Nothing he has written makes me think the outer lids weren’t sterile
