spark plug ground/ electrode broke in cylinder
So driving home on the highway 14 miles away from my destination, my car decides to start acting up and me being pretty good at knowing what could be the problem thought it was just the coil gone bad and i limped my car home. Apon inspection and repair I realize that the spark plug in cylinder 2 electrode/ ground tip had broken off. I checked all cylinders with my borescope and magnetic to see if anything was in them and found nothing. So i put new plugs but im now getting mis firing in the 2nd and 4th cylinders. Even moved coils around and codes are still in the same place.

Sry i was half sleep when i posted this
When I checked through the spark plug hole i couldn't really see much or didn't find anything sitting on the piston other than normal build up. I did manually rotate the cylinder to drop each piston down to get a full view of what was going on in the cylinder.
I was just wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone with the recommended ngk plugs.
I know i should have taking pictures of everything but me thinking it was a coil at the time, i just threw everything away. I do plan on taking a intake and exhaust manifolds off to see if i have any belt values. Idk honestly.
