Went to remove the heat shield that's bolted on top of my manifold and the head completely sheared right off. I think who ever put the shield on didn't put the bolt in completely straight (wasnt me) and this caused it to shear off when I was trying to remove the heat shield. Do I have anything to worry about since the screw is still in the top of the manifold or will it be ok? I dont want the thing to fall through inside at some point and then get blown through the turbo.

There should not be a hole there. The bolt hole should not go all the way through to the inside of the manifold. So you'll be fine.
