He may have gotten the spark plug wires crossed causing the misfire.
As far as the warning lights go, get the trouble codes retrieved from the body control module and any other module for that matter to see if perhaps the computer has already found a problem and has set a code in memory for it or them.

When you went to purchase these parts did you ask for sensors or the actual shafts?
Why didn't he just find new screws?

No! thank you
