    What have I done here ? I only wanted to change a faulty zone valve

    As above incorrectly wired. I take it your 3 port is a Y plan mid position valve? Maybe clear picture of what's happening in junction box? To be blunt I would just fit a 2 port wire it correctly and move on.

    Fitting a new water tank ball cock valve, connector terminology

    If that is all one casting I've never seen one like that but the market is full of foreign tat!. Try screwfix they certainly stock correct one. You could just change the whole thing but that may open up another world of pain.

    What if a drilled hole is too big?

    If the plaster is taking 70% of the load you need deeper holes and longer screws Unless wall is exceptional hard I would always use a 5mm drill bit for red plugs 6 mm for brown. Anything vaguely heavy (radiator or similar) we use concrete screws.
