If you have an o-ring, you will be better off without the sealant. A little thread sealer will not hurt if you have an o-ring seal but most people use way too much.

Too tight is when you break something. You might be able to find some torque specs online.
Thanks for the info. I didn't apply a lot so I think I'm good in that area. My plan is to clean everything really well and double check to make sure nothing is loose leaving fittings alone that feel securely tightened. Hopefully everything is good.
