Brief Answer:
No chance of concussion with such a little impact

Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxx,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You are right that such a trivial impact on head is not going to injure the brain in any way.
The brain is well secured in a hard skull with fluids all around acting as cushion for even moderate intensity of impact .
Don't worry nothing serious situation.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back with further queries.
