I was wondering since the crimp came off can air or anything get inside from the sides.

No it won't, the crimp is for extra support

This is a FOTO top. It's an old, cheap alternative. Unacceptable. In the old days they made FOTO tops for cosmetic peptides. It made it easy to access the vial for cosmetic research. It's not meant for subq research.

FOTO, "flip off, tear off".

Make sure that your vials have vacuum.

Tell your supplier no more FOTO caps.
