The piece of metal connected to the rear brake caliper has cracked due to my use of excessive force in torquing the rear axle nut. The weird thing is that my front brake is also having issues now.
I'm posting some pictures to give you guys an idea of what's going on.

dont think over tightening the axle would do that. probably happened in the spill.

I agree with that assessment. It is possible that too much compressive force could crack that bit of metal, but it is more likely it cracked due to impact,

I would check with the dealer you bought it from. Also the bracket from the TT250 might be an alternative. https://store.cscmotorcycles.com/TT2...p/zt23-101.htm
