Some deformation around the rivets isn't terrible, it just means they were over-tightened a bit. What is unusual is that the holders are installed with all copper rivets. Typically coppers are only used on the back two at the heel, and the furthest back, inside rivet on the forefoot. Unless you are very large, or skate very hard (or both) it's probably not necessary to have more copper than that. Did you request all copper, or is that just how they were done for you?

Extra weight, undoubtedly.

Copper rivets are designed for use on the rear tower to keep the holder from shifting up and down, whereas stainless steel rivets keep the holder from shifting from side to side.

All copper is not inherently bad, as long as the weight is no object to you (can't imagine it is over 50 grams extra), and there are more than enough to keep those holders from shifting on you.
