BQ27742-G1: Impact of connecting Vss to wrong terminal

Part Number: BQ27742-G1

Hello team,

See below customer question:

Please check the circuit configuration to determine if the BQ27742-G1 device can be used as shown in the schematic. During a Gerber file edit, I misplaced a trace that should have connected the Vss network around the BQ27742-G1 to the wrong terminal of C11, thus "floating" the chip and tying REG25 (E1) to Vss.  Will that damage the chip when power is applied, or will the LDO simply fold back?
