Romex pulled too tight through joist/subfloor?

Hey. It's me again with another question on my new construction home.

Our electrical panel is in the basement. It's on a non-load bearing wall. When the HVAC guys did their rough in, they chopped it to run their ducts. The framers didn't have a chance to fix it before the electricians came through and tightened down all their cabling.

The framers came back and fixed it, although the end result is the cabling is pretty tight through through the floor joists and subfloor.

I'm just wondering how tight is too tight. Floor boards deflect a little bit and I don't want it to eventually rub off the sheathing and cause an issue.

Here are some pictures. The close up shows that one had the sheathing cut, but the paper is in tact and I don't think the insulation is damaged.

The romex shown is pretty tight running through the joist.

I actually cut out a little webbing for the white romex on the left...it was VERY tight. You can see the cut in the sheathing on one of the 12/2 lines.

My main power line also has some twist in it, but I imagine that's ok?
