So my small RTC seems to have a problem. One of his front barbel is pointing straight up. Is this a problem I need to do something about? Will this cause problems when he gets big?

Other that this, he is fine. Eats like a pig, very active, etc.....

I wouldn't worry about it, mine only had 4/6 barbels and it didn't hold him back at all. I think he was born like that as there was no evidence the other 2 ever existed.
 
It could have gotten damaged at some point and be stuck. But I wouldn't be alarmed. And not sure there's much you can do
