Female hisser came in the mail - Half of thorax is sunken in. Should I be concerned?

Hey y'all.
Just got a delivery in of two female hissers. One of them has a sunken in mesothorax and metathorax on her right side (see attached photos). She isn't lethargic but she doesn't hiss at all and doesn't move around much. I have her separated in her own enclosure to keep her safe and give her some privacy for now. Anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned? If so, how do I remedy it?

Thanks

A not too uncommon molting defect, doesn't effect health at all.
