You would have noticed any appreciable loss of oil in the months you have driven the car so I think you're okay on the plug. I assume you used a new washer.

On the filter, that doesn't sound right but you installed the new filter correctly so problem, if any, solved.

I would just advise you not to reinstall the sump plug before you remove the filter. The anti-drainback valve will release oil back into the sump and this could lead to overfilling if the plug is in place.
