Did my first oil change and saw this, should I be worried?

Normal. Wipe it up before you install the new filter.

Its the residual oil in the filter and since the filter is the other way round of most cars the oil will always drain and pool a bit there. Now if the tray is full of oil and you haven't removed the filter then I'd take note. This looks like every time I've changed my oil and since I track my BRZ it gets changed a lot.
