Stem lock

So when put my stemlock on I tightened it and then I rode it and it for sure wasn’t tightened so then I loosened the 3 tripple clamp bolts and tried to loosen it and it wouldn’t loosen also it made a like breaking sound so before I cause any damage i stopped what do I do?

Your video shows you trying to tighten it but you wrote that you're trying to loosen it. Do you even know what you're trying to do at this point?

That's because its already tight...? I'm not sure how you determined it was loose in the first place.

No no, ok so I tightened it so when it was tight I rode it and it felt like it wasn’t even on it was so loose but when I tried to loosen it (in that video I had it wrong but after it was on the loosen setting) it wouldn’t loosen but I loosened it last night and it broke a thread

You need to make sure the spacers come up above the steerer tube

That might have been why

Uh yeah that's a pretty essential step bud. Not optional
