New metal partial

Hello,

I'm not new to the world of partials as I've worn one for a little over three years now but it had no metal and anchored to two teeth. I am however new to the metal ones. Long story short, my anchor teeth for my original partial should have been dealt with differently at the time and it lead to some fun problems I've dealt with over the past 4 months and I now have one less tooth and a new upper partial as of Monday.

Anyways, my anchor teeth on day one got extremely sore and I went in to have it loosened up a bit yesterday as I thought they were too tight. It definitely felt a lot better yesterday and this morning but I still am experiencing soreness in those teeth, on both sides. So my question is, how much soreness is just a normal adjustments to the new metal clasp vs it being too actually too tight and needing adjustment? The current tightness is where I could pop them off with my tongue if I wanted to but they aren't loose either and moving around or falling. They feel very secure.
