Today I was at a pump that when the gas was full it didn’t pop the handle out so I assumed it wasn’t full and kept filling manually. Did I cause harm by overfilling the gas?

I think you are okay. the damage and waste occurs if you consistently overfill the tank.

I filled my tank the first time after getting my CTR and the pump overfilled and spill gas all over the quarter panel. Luckily Honda put a hole right outside the cap to drain the excess gas, and my car was wax a day prior so the paint didn't get damaged.
