Filling a hole with cylinder

Hello, I want to fill this hole with a cylinder that goes through it and keeps on going up if you know what I mean but I am having a trouble filling it with the cylinder itself so it fits perfectly.. here's the picture

I acually solved it by remaking the whole but before making the hole i made a copy of the cylinder and then when the hole was made i just moved it it and ofc it fits perfectly.. now my problem is that i got 7 corners in 1 of the faces

i've marked the 7 vertexes, will this be a problem later on or is it alright? can i change it somehow?

You need to clean your goe should look like this or better, The main cylinder had 12 sections the one I used to do the boolean had 8 witch fitted nice then I add some edge loops and cut poly, I did have to do a merge verts at the end ................dave
