After finishing all of my trays I was given my retainer and told I only had to wear it at night, slowly this front tooth starting going back to its original position and I gave up on wearing the retainer at night. Now I'm regretful. Should I try forcing my retainer? Over night or 24hrs/day ?

Yes, you have both. Overjet and overbite. I would recommend you seek treatment at an experienced orthodontic facility to correct the issues. Overjet and overbite tend to increase with age.
As long as the attachment fits well with the Invisalign aligners it doesn't make a difference if the attachment template was used or one of your active aligners. If the orthodontist noticed an issue he/she would have just removed the attachments and done them again.
After Invisalign, the teeth do need to settle. The trays have been between the teeth for months and the teeth have not been touching except for eating! We try to adjust the bite after the first 6 months but every dentist does it differently.
