Freeze plug kicked my but....

I guess its time for all my pugs to be redone since i"ve already replaced two front ones....now on the way home today driver side rear cracked.....and it was pretty fun to get to. Taking it out wasnt so bad.....putting it back in....sucked.....Im probably going to get criticized for doing what I did, yes I put sealant around plug, yes i used heat torch to get old one out and new one in....being at such a difficult angle and aim, I couldnt get new pug as flush as its supposed to be by hitting it with socket as usual...it was cocked slightly..after hitting...and hitting...I went back to torch..heat block around plug to make swell, and went back to hitting got it to about the best I could.....so how bad does it look to you guys???? Havent tried it yet hope it holds...
