What if the ball gets stuck between the Ring and backboard (this was a question in one of my rule tests last year) AP or throw-in violation (or something else?)?

Just picture the player standing OOB on the sideline at the corner of the court and stepping towards the court but remaining OOB because the foot is on the side of the endline. If the sideline continued past the endline they would have stepped over that extended line.

Because there was no defensive pressure, I let it go but after I thought about it a little, I may have chunked it.

You'd be opening up yourself to controversy by calling a violation here; as it is not a good practice but the ball into play from that position. Best thing to do would be to stop play (if there was pressure) and definitively move the thrower to either the sideline or endline allowing for space to make a throw in.

Naw, you designated the throw-in spot. The spot is three feet wide and they can back up as deep as they can go. Just make sure that the the thrower keeps a foot on or over that designated spot before releasing the ball on the throw-in. That's all that needed to have a legal throw-in. Forget about everything else and don't overthink the play.
