no worries. I wouldn't stress it too much, torque wrenches aren't that accurate really anyways. By "15 ft*lbs" they mean "finger tight plus a bit" 30 means "snug" 40 means "tight on a 3/8ths" and 80-90 means "DAMNED tight on a 3/8ths or 'tight' on a 1/2"

Seriously tho, most torque wrenches are +-15% or more. What your torque wrench says is 90 mine might read as over 100 or under 80.
