Thumbs down Is my mirror tight enough?

How tight is too tight for the rubber clips on a newtonian primary? I've just found out.... image attached.
I cleaned my mirror 2 weeks ago, and was very careful to not tighten the clips much then.... round stars, but possibly more differential flexure (I think?). So I decided they might need a little tightening.... now I have triangle stars!
