Rough idle/ticking after spark plug change

Didnt know where to put this cuz this is not about my 84 gsl-se. I changed the spark plugs on my wifes 2003 mazda 6s v6. It was not an easy chore but afterwards I got an erratic idle 500-1000 rpm, bad smell, engine code, and seems like loss of power at low power. WTF did I do wrong? It was dark when I got donw but I am pretty damn sure I did not forgot to plug anyhting back up. I plan on checking all the plugs in the AM and maybe even getting a differnt plug that the Bosch platinum 2's that I put on. Thanks in advance
