What makes you think that our advices applies only on lisp code YOU
would have written?  Obviously we apply them to OUR OWN code, not on
YOUR code!

Start again from the beginning.

1- download and load paredit.  Evaluate (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook  'paredit-mode)

2- Open the original emacs lisp file again.

3- Edit carefully with the help of paredit.  Paredit also manages
   strings so you cannot insert or remove a stray double-quote.
