Quoted: I misread the directions, and put the bufer spring and buffer retainer in backwards, so the spring was pushing directly on the bolt carrier, instead of the buffer pushing on it.
I fired about 30 rounds like this, will it cause any permanent damage?

LOL, I had a good friend do this exact same thing! He fired over 80 rounds before we caught his mistake. It did not damage anything in his rifle. For some reason the AR15 will work like this. Go figure!
I had a good friend of mine tell me once at work in a Car Dealership. "If you aren't breaking things then you aren't trying". If you work on things yourself, you are going to make mistakes, if you learn from them, then they are not mistakes, but lessons in life.
I don't have enough room here to list all the things I've broken, blownup, shattered, etc. You'll have that!
Sounds like you got it straightened out, no harm no fowl! Happy shooting!
