I crashed a zoom, same drone just a different camera, the front sensors got damaged and I had an appropriate error message. I can not remember if I was able to fly but suspect I wasn't. I do not normally have the OA sensors switched on.
With OA on the side sensors are active in tripod mode but not in normal mode or sports mode. I do not know if they are active in any of the preprogrammed flight modes.
That I am aware of the upward looking sensors CAN NOT be switched off via a selectable option, however they ARE switched off in sports mode.
I do not know if the malfunction of the top and or side sensors will prevent flight. The easiest answer would be to see if you can start the motors with the CSC command. If so try a test flight.
BE AWARE, the top sensors have greater authority than the downward looking sensors and if they detect an object over head they can force the drone downwards, even to the extent of over riding landing protection. I have 'forced' a M2P/Z to the ground by lowering my hand over the top sensor.
If the drone will fly and if you are dubious of the top sensors I would be inclined to cover their opening with good non transparent sticky tape e.g. gaffa tape. I have done that indoors and it allowed my M2P/Z to reach ceiling level, normally the drone won't climb higher than 3 or 4 ft below the ceiling, I am not going to try sports mode indoors lol.
