Retaining Rings Sticking Outisde of Frame

My team had a question about the frame perimeter rules, we have a few roller shafts sticking outside our frame perimeter about a 10th of an inch with a retaining ring and was wondering if this is legal.

According to the rules:

R01. The ROBOT (excluding BUMPERS) must have a FRAME PERIMETER, contained within the
BUMPER ZONE, that is comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the ROBOT.
Minor protrusions no greater than ¼ in. (~6.3 mm) such as bolt heads, fastener ends, weld
beads, and rivets are not considered part of the FRAME PERIMETER.

TL;DR are retaining clips considered a fasteners?

Thanks!
