Will hack job on duct work make a difference?

I was vacuuming out the newly installed duct work - I couldn't believe that I was pulling out 4" pieces of hardwood floor and bits of trim, in addition to the sawdust that I was expecting. Anyway, after removing one of the wooden register covers, I saw that one of our ducts looked really hacked up - and I wondered if that's going to make a difference for heat loss, efficiency, etc. There are gaps where it doesn't even come up to the subfloor. This is one of 3 ducts put into a 22'x12' room addition (over insulated, enclosed crawl space). There's a furnace located in the crawl space and a heat pump outside. The furnace/heat pump only supply this room.
