hard to say if you did any damage. exhaust smoke could have been from the bad valve cover gasket installation letting oil get on the exhaust pipe and the resultant smoke blowing through the shrouding that takes care of the engine cooling. if this is a new ride, i'd go right back and get it taken care of under warranty. otherwise, i'd put a new valve cover gasket on it, clean all the plastic shrouding check the oil level and see if it runs with no abnormal noises etc.
