I’m leak testing with tap water.

There was not enough space the get them “hand tight” enough…. At least not the drain side. Added a little water to test and 1st video shows the leak out of 2 spots. I took a pliers and tighter a little more. Now the leak has stopped. Good to go? Or should I have let all the water leak out, took the whole thing apart, and re put back together?

If it’s not leaking with the tank completely full then you are good to go.
