weird belt tension graph

Hi, I have 2 opposite peaks, and I don't know what to do about it. at first I had the graph labeled 000 then I fiddle with it, make it worse, tried to get back to the original and now I have the second graph, prefixed with now

my x gantry was slighly skewed, which I solved before doingt those measurment with the belt tensionner.

also I applied too much torque (9.8 Nm instead of 0.98 Nm) on the Y rails, stripped all the screw and they cannot be removed (it was my first time using a torque wrench, I tough the screw sripping was the wrench telling me 'that's enought')

Ratrig guide say that it can cause bending on the rail, other user have said that it could bend the aluminium profile. however visually they look ok and the gantry slides without issues, I havend noticed anything weird in the bed scan either.

what do you think about all of this?

Thanks.
