Hotend leaking after Prusa Vid on how to change Nozzle

I saw, how easy it is in the vid of Mr. Prusa on Youtube and did exactly the same.

But of course it leaked... Just a bid so the first print went well and I could not see anything.

But the second failed badly and the whole mess of PLA build up...

I would have never changed that nozzle, if the vid did not make it look easy...

Now I am fucked...

So how do it get it tight - I think when I do the last step and try to tighten the heater block - it moves. so it would need to be diagonal in order to be tight...

And how do I get rid off the mess of PLA without spending hours. How do I get the fucking thing in the right orientation so that I can tighten the heaterblock in the end.

And why is there no vid with the clean up after a failed nozzle change and only showing the fancy non reality instead of the mess that happens
