As long as those axillary buds weren't damage too much, seem okay, it's fine.
you want to avoid cutting the stipules too - the pointy things at node.. and preflowers of course.
i keep the fiskars nice and tight all the way until i get to the place i want to cut, then slowly open them and that generally keeps things out of the slicing path. Even use a finger on other side of stem, if careful.. get tips of shears just far enougg, remove fingertip! and cut. can be very precise doing that and not nick things along the way.
