Acclimation contamination help/advice.

I purchased 2 clowns from Liveaquaria for my first two fish. Got them in this morning and during acclimation into my QT, one of the bags dunked under a bit and bag water mixed with tank water for a brief moment. Should i not really worry or completely empty and refill QT tank with fresh saltwater and start over?

If I am reading it correctly, don't worry about anything.

So bag water got into the QT or DT? If it's the QT, that's no problem at all. If it's the DT and the fish had some pathogen, it would be more of a concern, but by your description, it sounds as if only a very small amount of water was spilled. I wouldn't worry.

No I wouldn't worry as it is the qt tank any I tested live Aquaria's water and it was fine and all the fish I get from there a completely disease free including ich magnets like hippo and powder blue tangs
