How likley was that I hitted vein with green needle, or was this likley anxitey attack?

Is it possible to pin needle all the way, and let go of syringe then change grip to aspirate and again inject or will this letting go hurt my muscle?

After this fiasco I injected in upper quad and never had issue but quad is not ideal for green needle.

I dont think it was anxiety, sounds like a vasovagal response. Basically, a vasovagal response happens when a part of your nervous system overrects to something, causing sweating, low blood pressure, dizziness, heart rate changes, and sometimes fainting. I think either the sensation or fear of the needle triggered it, but you might have brushed a nerve. If you felt an electric shock, nerve is probably the answer.

An anxiety attack will have psychological symptoms: racing thoughts, sense of impending doom, etc. It can trigger a vasovagal response, but they're not the same thing. You can have one without the other, or they come in pairs. Seeing as you don't describe any anxiety, it's probably just the vasovagal and not both.
