2007 Wrong Plugs

Just swapped my son a 2001 Honda Civic for his 2007 Ninja 250R. (He needed a vehicle that works for work.) Other than a cracked front fairing (dropped on left side), looks beautiful, <5,000 miles.

The issue: NG CR8E plugs were installed accidentally and turned over. Replaced with correct ones but bike won't start. The sound of the bike being turned over is normal.

Initially, I'll do a compression test and probably get a scope to look into the cylinder. But before I do, I thought I'd ask here and see if any have experience and know what damage I can expect. (I saw the CR8E plugs. The ground electrode is flattened against the plug body pushing the center electrode in. The base of the body is angled very slightly, assuming from piston.)

Thanks!
