Happy to see you excited and satisfied after doing your research. But, we all make mistakes when we're excited. At this point, I don't think you should publish an image of the exact amount of bitcoin you bought, because now it's trivial to just hit that number on a block explorer and have you traced within a minute.

Now as for the hardware wallet, it's a good practice, yes, but for such a small amount as 41,629 sat, I think you should stick with an encrypted wallet on a well-reviewed wallet software like Electrum. Good hardware wallets are worth like four times that amount at least.
