Help with lie question

Ok so i took my clubs to golfsmith to get my lies 2 degrees flat, big mistake. I drive a 1/2 hour to get there to pick them up and when i get them i look at them at address and they look more upright. The club maker did them 2degrees upright instead of 2 degrees flat. We went and looked at the tag that has the instructions on it and it says 2 degrees flat so the clubmaker must have been daydreaming. Now my clubs have to go from 2 degrees upright to 2 degrees flat.
So my question is can this effect my clubs in any negitive way? Is it possible the the bounce or the lofts could be different after this? I have titleist 670mb's with dynamic golf x100's

The Titleists are forged, so you should be in good shape. Forgings are much easier to bend, and re-bend than castings are.

If they are 2 degrees upright and you were fitted for 2 degrees flat, this will have a relatively huge effect on your game.. Normally, lie alterations have little to do with loft or bounce of the clubhead. It is your ball flight that you need to be concerned with here. Thankfully, all is not lost. They can easily be bent again with no problem. Heck , I would take them back to the same GS have them check the irons real close and show them your original work order.
