Did i damage my struts?

I tryed putting my struts in and i used a impact gun on the top nut but the shaft kept spinning the strut itself got really hot because i did this for a while (don't ask me why i did it for a while stupidity i guess )Anyway i was wondering if i damaged them by doing this they seem to work fine but now I'm worried.
