If you know, do you think that score could negatively affect my application?

No.

Many colleges have little elves (actually, they’re usually work-study students) who prep the applications and prepare a cover sheet. If the college asks for 2 subject tests, most like only the top two will appear on the cover sheet. Yes, the third will be part of the overall packet, but an AO will likely not pay too much attention to it. You need to understand the reality of the AO’s job. While you will spend hours upon hours crafting the perfect app, s/he will spend at most 12-15 minuted reading the entire packet. How much time do you really think they spend on scores? I’m thinking 5-10 seconds. Yup, in the ballpark - next.
