I thought the 510 pin on my IPV4S was adjustable and turned it left than right full turn and than realized it's spring loaded. Did I just fuck up my new mod?

Maybe. Does it still work?
If not yes you fucked it up. I haven't searched for a video of anyone fixing it but you probably can resolder it.

It still works, But I'm worried I screwed it up later on somehow.

I'd leave it. If you rarely take the atty off it shouldn't be seeing repeated stress and should continue working. These high powered mods aren't the wimpy little wires mods used to have.
Or if I had to put it back I'd open it and see what's going on before doing anything. If nothing was kinked I'd move it back.
Unbending kinked wire is usually when it breaks.

Or maybe they made the IVP4S so it's a floating connection (I doubt it, but I haven't seen any videos of one taken apart). I know my Vamo spring pin could be spun without breaking anything (because I took it apart and put a heavier spring in the pin). But the general rule is don't spin spring pins because they may be a wire soldered to a pin.

Alright So I took it apart and this is how the wire looks.

That was lucky, I don't think my IPV4 could make it by the LED.
Looks like they beefed it up.

I bet you when I turned the connector it went back to the same position and also the wire is pretty big. I'm glad I didn't wreck it.
