Bent electrode

Had blown plug threads repaired with Helicoil, now after a couple of hundred miles the new plug has bent electrode and is[obviously] misfiring. Can't grasp why. First thought was helicoil improperly installed, plug extending too far into cylinder, but I would think that would occur from first start up. Any clues? Thanks, Joe

Maybe some leftover debris got in between the piston and the plug.
