Consequences of Schengen Border guard not checking residence permit

Consequences of Schengen Border guard not checking residence permit - Man in Gray Long Sleeve Shirt Sitting on Blue and White Tent

I am a Canadian national already living in Finland with a Finnish residence permit (based on my spouse having a Residence Permit for work). I was traveling back from Canada (after a short visit) to Finland via France.

At the Schengen border crossing in France, the border guard did not ask/check for my Finnish Residence Permit card at all, but instead stamped my Canadian passport with a Schengen Entry stamp (i.e. did not check/scan my Finnish RP at all).

Will this affect my stay as a residence permit holder in Finland? In particular, does the rule of 90 days stay within the last 180 day period now apply for me because the guard did not scan my RP at the border crossing?
