So do i need to report this or what's the scale of these reports one needs to do. Where do I find what needs to be reported and what doesn't?
Since you are a student pilot, your best resource is your flight instructor. You should have sought him out IMMEDIATELY after the flight and told him the situation IN DETAIL. Then you should have discussed what needed to be done in your case, and the thresholds for formal reports.
If you do NOT consider your instructor as your best resource, then you need to find a new instructor.
