injector over-torque

I recently replaced my injectors on an 83 240D. This was my first time doing it. I purchased re-built injectors with Monark nozzles from a reputable (I think) source, and followed instructions published by a different reputable source. The instructions, however, contained a typo: "Install the injectors and torque to 70-80Nm foot pounds." For reasons that are now beyond me, I simply assumed that it meant to say "70-80 foot pounds" rather than "70-80 Nm". I have since realized my mistake.

Is it urgent that I remove them and re-torque to 59 foot pounds? Or, if they are going to get damaged by this, is the damage already done? I'm unclear about the mechanics of how over-torquing can damage the nozzles, so I'm not sure how much I should panic, or whether re-torquing them would be pointless now.
