That spot where the yolk was attached does look a little elongated. It's usually more round. Makes me wonder if a tiny bit of shell rot might be going on. Just to be on the safe side, dab a bit of athlete's foot cream on that section and keep him on paper towels or dry substrate for a week or so to see if it starts looking more healed.
