New lever, the flange connecting bolt should only be tightened to 5-6Nm.

So put too much torque down? I used a light touch to cinch it down, just i had done with the left. Guess I'm gonna need to get a replacement. Bugger

Not necessarily your fault, that seems to be a common failure on 7020/8020 levers. There's a grub screw in the side which acts as a weak point/stress riser/crack initiator

Or the olive misaligned inside causing it to be too tight.
