and now I'm getting this burning plastic smell, any thoughts, the exhaust is not touching the rear bumper in anyway.

I agree with DAP, check that evap line. If it's not that, it's just the "new exhaust smell".

Default make sure its not leaning on any evap lines, make sure bolt didnt catch a plastic bag off the road,
i hope you made sure none of those styrofoam S jammies were inside it before installing.
