I Accidentally Moved A Leaf Cutter Bee Nest Will They Be Ok?

I had some soil in a gardening bag that has holes for strawberries, while transferring the soil I noticed what I thought was a plant growing in the soil but when I looked at the “plant” I quickly realized it was a cell. I put the soil back in the bag, put the cell back, and put the bag of soil back where it was hanging. Will the bees continue to put cells in this bag and is the cell I put back going to be ok?

Since you put it back so quickly, I think they will be able to continue using the nest. Here is more about them:
