Default Kinetix v+ plenum install now In limp mode help

As the title states I installed the kinetix v+ plenum. I followed all of the instructions given and I decided to clean the throttle body while it was out. As I was installing it to the new plenum I dropped the throttle body and cracked the tps housing. I didn’t think much of it as it only cracked the plastic housing. After install I waiting the two hours for the lock tight to set and fired it up only to find I was throwing six codes for tps. I did the pedal dance but to no avail, also tried disconnecting the negative and pumping the brakes but that only cleared for a moment. I limped it to autozone and had them clear the codes but 4 came back. I am now out of ideas as to what to do to get rid of the codes. I was thinking I could get a tune but I don’t want to waste my money until I have all the parts I want to add before the tune. Any ideas?

Welcome.
The Hitachi drive by wire should only be cleaned with power disconnected. It's obviously a sensitive electronic device, this one may be toast. If it were mine I'd find a reman oem, perform learn mode and hope for the best. Gl.

it was out of the car when I cleaned it. But maybe I pushed the butterfly when I was cleaning it?

Not to call you out but I'm sure a drop bad enough to crack it didn't help. Here's a bone-
Rockauto.com
is an amazing vendor I've used and they have excellent prices. See if they have it. Gl.

Update: I bought a NWP 75mm throttle body and that took the car out of limp mode, but I’m still throwing eight codes for TPS. I went to autozone and had the codes cleared and also did the pedal dance and the codes are still there. It’s only idling 100 rpm over stock, but I would like to know how to get rid of the eight TPS codes. Would I just have to wait for it to get tuned or the ECU reflashed?

Let's start with:
What are the codes?
Also I'd highly suggest you purchase a reasonably priced OBD2 reader since you're getting into upgrades. You'll need it, as you can see

Might be a dumb suggestion but dit you connect everything? Also the hoses on the underside of the throttlebody?
