Bonjour Jim !
No, this sentence is correct here.
Indeed, to express what we call the Close Past or "Passé Proche" in French, you use "venir de + infinitive" in Le Présent.
Have a look at our related lesson:
Expressing the close past in French using "venir de" + [infinitive] (Le Passé Proche)
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
