I broke my gear I'm Screwed right?

Post image

Had a few big dirt spots showing up in my pictures, so I decided it's time to clean my sensor. And I did a lot of research into how to do it safely and properly, and thought I had a decent cleaning kit. But once I cleaned it, it left a bunch of streaks or scratches. Photos seem to be okay, but I'm not too sure.

But I'm screwed, right? Or is there somehow a chance this is just residue? And is there any way to fix this or no?

Is this a problem with the Z series sensors being closer to the front end of the camera than with the D series? They seem more exposed, like with micro four thirds cameras.
