Now my freehub is making weird noises. Did i break tge freehub by using a torque wrench for the first time instead of eyeballing???

@snacks are you certain it's freehub that makes a noise (you tried spinning rear wheel without bike)

@snacks in my experience freehub usually starts making weird noises not from being overtensioned, but from contamination (if you used spray degreaser on your sprockets before). Theoretically if you do overtension it it would just kill freehub bearings quicker and make it harder for it to spin. (But I am not a real mechanic)

that's a spring washer, by your description (I don't really have that on my bike and it's just a lock ring for me).

there's also a possibility that it was some kind of spacer ring?..
what's your hub model and your cassette btw?
