Monroe Piercing IDK..?

before i start, i just wanted to say that pretty much everything i say is going to be a thats what she said XD..... I Self Pierced my monroe (yes everything was sterilized and i knew what i was doing), the 16g needle went through fine, but When i tried to slip the piercing in, it wouldnt go through the last layer of skin in the inside of my mouth. I Tried forcing it to go in ( thats what she said XD) but it wouldn't D: After five minutes of trying that, i finally took it out. It didn't bleed at all. i was wondering if its going to get infected D: i tried this last night and right after i took it out i cleaned the pierced skin and cleaned again this morning. everything was sterile was idk. Oh and for people wondering about the pain on a scale of 1-10 it was a 3. i didnt put any ice, or numbing stuff, or anything. just gloves, sterilized 16g needle, and force. it took 10 seconds to get the needle through but not the piercing... So could it get infected?
