+1 on sending good vibes.
Just unclip each coil, pull them up one at a time and re-seat them. Reconnect the coils leads. Depending on the style Bremi vs Bosch (see below) as they have a way of being a PITA at times to get the clip to lock down with the connector inside.

AS mentioned the ground wire is critical and can be pinched under a coil.

Take your time and walk back through the assembly to ensure the right coil wire goes to the right cylinder hole. The only weird item to keep in mind is a shorted/cracked plug, but that would affect only one cylinder.

By the way, you did not see any coils with a black burnt area oozing a oil like material coming from a coil winding (The fat part on the coil). And you did replace the coil boots if your application has them, RIGHT?

Found a loose injector, runs a little better, cleared codes and now I am getting 2 (better than 7).

Codes are:
P0208
P1357

Look like I have it narrowed down to cylinder #8....
