Can i flash stock firmware with sligthly different baseband version?

So i decided to unroot my phone today, and the only firmwares i found had different baseband versions than that of my phone.
My question to you is if it's dangerous for my phone if i flash a slightly different baseband version firmware?
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6
Android Version: 5.0.2 Lollipop
International version (SM-G920F)
Country: Sweden
Baseband Version: G920FXXU1AOCW
Custom root: CF-Auto Root for said device
Link to firmware availible for my phone (Sammobile): www .sammobile.com /firmwares/ database/ SM-G920F/ VDS/ (Assemble link)
The baseband version of the firmware is: G920FXXU1AOCV (Has a V at the end instead of W)
Will it damage my phone if i flash the firmware that has a V instead of my phones W at the end?
Thanks in advance

[Completed] Rooting Samsung S5 Duos (SM-G900FD)

I have Samsung (SM-G900FD) with Lolipop(5.0) and I want to root it without tripping the knox. I have been searching the internet for past couple of days and I have found a way. It involves, among other steps, downloading and installing the "towelroot" apk, but here is the problem. Towelroot method does not work with Lolipop and I have to downgrade the software to Kitkat(4.4.2), the software version my phone came with.
Once again I have searched thoroughly to find a way to downgrade to Kitkat and I came to the understanding that I need to download official KitKat firmware from sammobile and install it manually, but I don't know which firmware to download from the list that appears against my phone's model.
I have following questions:
1. How will I know which firmware to download from the list.
2. Once I have downgraded and rooted my phone, can I upgrade to android 5.0
Here is my device info,
Model Number: SM-G900FD
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband version: G900FDXXU1BOE1,G900FDXXU1BOE1

[Exynos 7884][Verizon] Samsung Galaxy J7 Top 2018 (SM-J737VPP) Custom ROM or at least Root??

I am unable to find a custom ROM or even a root method for the J7 Top 2018 with the model number SM-J737VPP. I have the Verizon Wireless model, and the baseband is J737VPPVZWABUJ3 with the SW Rev being A. I thought I could maybe use a loophole in Samsung Experience by downgrading from Android 9.0 Pie (OneUI 1.1) to Android 8.1.0 (Experience), but I can only find Android 9 ROMS for my baseband and SW Rev, and I don't want to break carrier services or anything. My plan here is to find an AOSP ROM and upgrade to Android 13 (LineageOS 20) or at least 12 (19.0) or probably a Go (edition) equivalent on AOSP. I am also missing OEM unlock in the Dev options and using the date change method, I still can't get it. I've never hacked a device with a Samsung Exynos chip though before. Maybe if this had a MediaTek chip I could at least root the phone.
Current ROM: OneUI 1.1 | Android 9.0 Pie
Current Recovery: Stock | 3e
SW REV: A
Model #: SM-J737VPP
Baseband: J737VPPVZWABUJ3
Build #: PPR1.180610.011.J737VPPVZWABUJ3
Kernal: 4.4.111
Knox ver: 3.3 | API 28
Patch level: Oct 1, 2021
