Hello so i was just happy finishing up the stand to my 120 when i noticed a clam shell chip on the side where the 2 panes meet? I am thinking if putting epoxy would help or is this a huge risk ?

I’d run it personally… that corner is locked in and not flexing or stressing, shouldn’t be a big deal… if it was on top of a rimless piece you might have a problem.
 
You can fill it with a windshield repair or a stone repair kit. Use the ones that require UV light to cure. I order them from BBI industries in North Carolina. Order online. About $100.00 for the starter kit and will work on Granite or Quartz counters as well.
 
Id run it. Clamshell chip, the seal doesnt appear to be compromised.
