I've just replaced a 15mm isolator valve, when I took the old one off the olive was right on the end of the pipe, looks like the pipe was not pushed in fully before it was tightened up

There's probably about 1mm of pipe though the olive

Will this cause any problems, if I leave it like this?

(I would normally change it but its in a tight space, so it would be quite awkward! )
 
Probably not.

You could probably put two turns of PTFE tape around the olive to give you added peace of mind.
