ABS/Traction lights after replacing EPS Dampener

So I finally replaced my EPS dampener last night, and the rattles all gone

My steering wheel came all the way out during the process, and it took a lot of finagling to get it back in. It now sits at a slight angle when driving straight.

***Most importantly, how dangerous is it to drive the car with these lights on? Am I going to cause more damage?***

During my test drive afterwards the ABS/Traction lights came on(was right after a bump, but only 1minute into the drive. Not sure if the bump has anything to do with it but I figured I'd mention)

From what I've read online it's the steering angle sensor (or only needs to be calibrated?) or the clock spring broke.

-Isn't the steering angle sensor just inside of the clock spring? As in, is just buying that part simpler? There's some for very cheap on eBay.

-For calibrating, I keep seeing TechStream, is that something that it's worth it to buy it online for JUST this? or is it something to just go to a dealer for(would smaller shops carry this?)

-Is this a simple enough/become cheap enough job to buy Techstream + Clockspring and do it myself?

Literally any input is helpful and I'm really early on in the process of reading all the stuff, but these are a lot of new words and parts here for me, so any help is appreciated
