well with a round nail head the contact surface to the seal carrier surface is extremely narrow and little or no lateral pressure is pushed much against the side wall surfaces

The attack angle is so narrow I doubt any real damage is possible on the side walls

as long as the seal itself is not fully seated ( bottomed out) there is room to slide in the nail head between the seal bottom and the carrier

I actually think the nail approach this better than using a screwdriver with a bent tip at 45 degrees. That could really stratch the side walls of the seal carrier
