03 6.0 injector issues

Hey all I have a 03 6.0 Powerstroke that I just had all 8 injectors changed out and the number 8 cylinder injector was in much worse shape than the other (I have attached a photo of the number 8 next to another old injector). And now with the new injectors cylinder 8 has a contribution code and it’s blowing a lot of white smoke. Any ideas as to what would cause this issue with the old injector? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Looks like it wasn't torqued down. Where did you get the replacement injectors?

Time for a compression check on #8. The injector shows the cylinder is weak or not firing at all.
