Hi Adam, Sorry to hear about the complications. I’m curious to see close-up pictures of the damage.
Depending on how much risk you’re comfortable with I think you could take progressively longer rides to make sure everything is OK. In this situation I would remove the parts, inspect, reinstall, and torque to the proper spec…. Followed by a number of rides that increasing distance. This might be a good teachable moment for you, and I don’t think being cautious could hurt you. Good luck!
