Your filter is over-tightened, keep an eye out for leaks.
The proper way to mount an oil filter is to wet the seal with oil, then spin it on until it touches the block. Then with your hand, rotate the filter 1/2 turn. It won't leak and you will be able to remove it at your next oil change with just your hand.
