When I have the drone and transmitter powered up I have this message on my screen Battery Damaged When I check the battery screen the voltage are 4.05,4.32,4.32,4.32 Voltage as 16.98 Volt and battery voltage on the Home Screen is 98% charged ? Should I trust this battery ? Thanks

I would say definitely DON'T trust this battery. The cells are all different voltages! Play it safe and buy a new one!
Don't use it at all. Just one cell being a lower voltage will be catastrophic. Something went wrong with the cell balancing when charging, possibly the fault of the BMS.
And if the BMS isn't doing its job, bad news.

The BMS is the battery management system. This regulates the cell voltage in each battery to be the same. If the cells are different voltages, then the BMS or cells are wrecked. It's simplest to buy a new battery.
And also monitors and regulates total output current.
This message can pop-up when cells' voltage is outside normal spreas. Dont throw the battery away, but try to charge/discharge it few times on the ground, i.e. let the drone spin props without taking off. Then check voltages again.
