Headgasket Install gone wrong?

Hey guys... okay since it was the first time installing a headgasket, I am kinda worried about this issue. I installed a new Greddy 1.2mm HG and I cleaned the mating block and head with a putty knife to get some of the old stock head gasket off. But me being a newb, I didn't sand the block and make sure 100% of the old stuff got off. I did try to make sure the mating surfaces are pretty smooth, but no sanding....

Should I be worried?

Also I didn't know about the 2 90 degree torques after the 44NM torquing and some oil leaked through the cracks. Very very minimal, just beads, no drip though. I since then retorqued them doing the full factory torqueing procedure.

The question is should I be worried about that little bead of oil even after I detorqued and retorqued it to the correct factory specs?
