My thought would be the same as yours. I hate knowing there is/was an issue, but not finding it, especially on something so significant. But given your tests it seems good, but you tested before and had good results. 🤷‍♂️ Hard to be 100% confident, but I'm not sure what else you should do at this point before putting it back together.
