2. I know Jarblue gave me the torque specs previously, but I don't recall using my torque wrench that uses NM (I honestly don't remember, as all I recall from the experience was my back killing me from leaning over most of the time). I'm thinking I probably over-torqued the TB allen screws. I tightened until it was firm. What are the chances of something breaking from over-torquing?
1. Probably

2. I didn't realise you actually removed the throttle bodies themselves. As long as you've tightened the allen screws "quite firmly" everything should be fine.
