Brief Answer:
looks fine

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Yes, it looks good at this point and you just need to be patient till whole nail grows again. There is no wrong direction of nail progression and It is important that there is no redness or pain. This bump is nail matrix and this is normal healing process after nail removal.
Wish you good health.
