2007 Ford Focus not running after fuel filter replacement

Car was running fine. I thought it would be a good idea to change the fuel filter. I removed the 15 amp fuse under the hood and started the car 3 times until it stalled. I changed the filter, connected the lines, put the fuse back in and turned the key to the on position to pressurize the fuel line. I did this a few times and now the fuel pump is much louder during it's start up routine. There is also a siginificantly louder hum coming from behind the radio when turning the key to the on position. The car starts ok and drives ok. But a much more noticeable hum from the back of the car is bothering me. What did I do wrong?

The hum in the fuel tank and behind the radio in the dash both go away after a few seconds, but they're so much louder. The hum in the dash lasts longer than the fuel tank.

The arrow on the filter body is pointing in the correct direction. I did use a wix 33595.

The old filter did not seem clogged at all. I first removed the outlet end and the gas that came out of the filter was clear and colorless.

Interesting. It would be nice to try to see what happens, but will not be doing so. The clip that holds the inlet from the gas tank to the filter body is in a terrible spot for someone working on the ground and on their back. I dont know how the youtube people did this, but I had to break the clip to detach from the filter body. I dont know what the force does to the line. I dont want to see anything damaged further.

While taking the car for a drive this afternoon, the noise in the fuel tank is the same louder volume, but was shorter in duration. I have now put about 20 miles on the car since the new filter and I dont see anything leaking. I have only checked while starting the car on the driveway.

It seems over a few short trips the fuel filter is still priming itself? The significantly louder noise is still unsettling to hear.
