1965 Dodge Dart Charger

While mounting the painted plate, in one of the screw holes the paint cracked a little bit!! Question: Was it possible that while mounting painted parts in the interior that paint cracked?

Yes. And got scratched and scraped and sneezed on.

If so, did they leave it that way or did they replace the painted part with a new painted part?

This is Chrysler we're talking aboutÂ…! Quick and cheap were the watchwords. Unless it was a giant gouge or other seriously ugly damage, the car would get sent out to the dealer, who would sell it and only address the issue if the customer complained. Cars (from just about all makers) at that time came off the assembly line in awful, thrown-together condition compared to today's cars.
