Had an accident - is the machine done?

My Sage Barista Touch is from 2017. It has run flawless all years.

So recently i wanted to change the grouphead gasket for the first time. (yeah i know, should probably do it more often)
So i followed a youtube instruction vid on it.

But unfortunately i made a mistake. I forgot to mount the shower screen again, and i pulled a shot without it. Quickly realizing the mistake afterwards, i did all the cleaning i could do, and mounted the screen again. But something i wrong.

The coffee actually runs through on the same time as usual, but the pucks is totally me4sses up, and theres a lot of coffee much around the portafilter mount on the machine afterwards. It's a total mess.
So i have just tried a deep clean cycle, and tried a different portafilter, but with the same result.

When i changed the gasket i did the following:

1: place the gasket with my fingers the best i could.

2: Inserted portafilter without basket, to line up the gasket

3: Inserted portafilter with basket to push the gasket the rest of the way in.

Give me your thoughts and fixes please, before i push "Buy" on a new machine :)
