Some amplifiers depend on the ground of the RCA jacks to get a ground reference. Some amps have the shield of the RCAs grounded inside the amp. Chances are the amp you just put in does not require ground on the RCAs. So down the road when you get a different amp, you will probably have the problem again.

oh. well that explains it. could there be something that goes wrong down the line with this amp if i do not ground the rca's ? I dont want to take for granted that the system is playing now and cause further damage to something else

If it is playing fine now then there is nothing to worry about.
