So if you were watching the Oil Pressure Gauge you would think everything is OK.

If restricted oil flow is the case, the OP has caused a situation where improper operation could not be detected. The oil place bears zero liability in this case as they substantially used due diligence. ( RE: there are thousands of cars driving around with the installed filters and they are OK. )
However, the OP has __TWO__ oil filters , if plumbed in parallel the alleged "too small" filters will likely exceed the surface area of ____ONE___ stock filter. Please explain how larger surface area will restrict oil flow.
If plumbed in series ( not common if it exists at all ) a warm engine driven a few city blocks won't suffer from "restricted" oil flow.
There is a scenario where the OP could have made errors in his modifications, however the oil change place carries zero liability in this case even if what they did triggered the failure.
The bad part of the whole mess is that the OP could unknowingly "fix" the existing improper modification during a repair and come back to say " Motor runs fine, see I told you they messed up."
