Need some advice please. There are some scratches made by plumber on my 15 mm copper pipes. Should I be concerned? There are no leaks. Thank you

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Carelessness by your plumber. Hopefully they’re not gas pipes?
 
No mate not an issue at all.
I've known guys that have used wire wool or abrasive on pipes after fitting, and some where pipes show on a new boiler say, actually 'polish' the pipes to mirror finish. lol.
Cant tell if they are ripples in your fist pic, (crappy bend ) but as not kinked it looks like a tight job.
Be grateful it was done in copper and not plastic, and get some lagging on those pipes. (y)
