Ouch, hope not man. It's pretty hard to cross thread a sportage spark plug when you use a spark plug socket and 6"-12" extension to get down there that far.. Did you start the plugs by hand? I usually will take them as far as I can by hand (at least 2 turns) before ratcheting on it. you could leave the spark plug cover off and put it all back together, then spray soapy water down the said plug and see if bubbles form.. might be hard to see with the cursed intake in the way, but worth a try to check for leakage maybe?
