Macros and exercise calories

I eat back my exercise calories. While the target calorie amount adjusts for exercise logged, the macros do not (at least, I don't think they do). Obviously if I eat more calories, my macros for the day will increase, based on whatever I'm eating.
I'm just wondering if I need to be concerned if my macros go over a little (I've prelogged dinner for today, for example. Went over a little on fat in this case). I do try to hit them as best I can, but perhaps I'm overthinking.
I look at protein and fiber as minimums, while I look at carbs, fat and sodium as maximums. Is that correct?

If you eat a non-extreme diet the ratio of carbs:fats is pretty irrelevant. Just fit it into your remaining calorie space after protein.0
