AP Scores not submitted to CCC, but claimed on UC Application

I’m currently applying to some UCs and I noted on the application that I have taken four AP tests in high-school; however, I never sent these scores into my community college. I asked my community college counselor about it, and she said that I could send the AP scores to the community college if I wanted to or just wait until I’m at a UC. Will it negatively affect me if I don’t send my AP scores to my community college but claim on my UC app that I took the tests?

I have a TAG where I checked off what AP tests I’ve taken and there was no issue, so I assume I’m good but I’d like a second opinion.

The only reason the CCC would need them were if they were signing off some AP to fulfill IGETC. Otherwise, just wait and send to the UC, if accepted. You would need to do that even if you sent them to the CCC.
