Not sure if it's the case for the 22-23 but the original twins came from the factory with the black paint OVER the top of the crush gasket. So when you removed the drain plug bolt the first time, the crush gasket stayed stuck to the outside of the pan. I've also seen it stay stuck to the drain bolt itself and have to be pried off of it. Again, due to the black paint getting on it.
It was necessary to gently pry it off there and then replace it when doing the initial change. Could've been what happened here as well.
Was the edge area around the pan's drain valve opening smooth to the touch? You would've been able to easily feel if the crush gasket was stuck to the pan.
I don't know enough about crush washers to say if having two of them on there will cause a slow leak or not. I'd say put some cardboard under the car and check for signs of leaks in a day or two.
