How bad is it to not touch your chest at the bench press?

I hit today 375 lbs as my new PR. im slightly proud but also wonder how legit the lift was since i didnt touch my chest.

It was 3 inches above my chest and i tried touching my chest before but already at 245 lbsit hurts not my chest but i only feel stinging pain in my front delts. Im 6`3 and dont arch. So i have a long bar path and long arms. Could this be the reason?

Edit: shouldnt be the range of motion be the same since im flat on the bench without arching my back?

Thanks guys
