Misalignment of stylus (Noze Dive

I am An idiot and about a month ago I changed the stylus on my EPC-U25 which is mounted on my SL-D212 and yesterday I realized that I had inserted it incorrectly and it was at an angle pointing down as if doing a nose dive and was not fully inserted.

My question is could I

A: have damaged it by this

B: Have damaged the cartridge body by doing this

The post seems to only have uploaded the PRE cleaning image The post cleaning image is in an Imgur link [https://imgur.com/a/pJYg6K1](https://imgur.com/a/pJYg6K1) becuase Reddit was being wierd.

Fixing it fixed up the Distortion I was hearing but I noticed still some staticness and looking under my microscope I realized it was very dirty as I guess the angle it was at caused it to reach deeper into the grooves than Normal and pick up lots of junk.

After cleaning it sounds much better but it still has me worried. I did test a few songs on records I know like the back of my hand and it seemed fine but still I worry

This is only the second time I've changed the stylus on this cartridge but the cartridge and table have been in my family since 1981.

I thought I would come here to the experts.
