Default Oil troubles

So, I changed my oil today. I didn't realize it until I drained the pan, but I had parked on a very slight slope under my right tired, which led to the truck leaning to the left (again the slope was not big at all). But I drained the pan and changed the filter and proceeded to put in 7 quarts of oil. After this was all done, I checked the dipstick and to my surprise, it was WELL ABOVE the max line.. Thinking maybe all oil didn't drain due to the slope, I took about half a quart of oil out, but when I did this, it was all new oil that came out, still a tannish color, not black at all. I drove a couple miles and checked again, same thing, so I let it cool for a while and rechecked it and it is still too much. Any possibility that that small slope kind of screwed me? Or am I just worrying too much? I'd rather not redo everything again, but just to prevent engine damage, I will if I have to.

This is all on an 05 F150 5.4L

Absolutely no problem at all. Don't worry about it.
