I'm a dumb noob.

So I was gluing some frags down, went and got some super glue. I looked to make sure it contained cyanoacrylate, it did so I grabbed it. I get home, and apply it to the frag aaaaaaaand, it's not gel, so needless to say it went everywhere, I got a good amount all over one the frags, I tried to remove as much as possible but I couldn't get all of it off, so now I'm wondering if this frag is fubar because of the glue on it.

It's only dead when it's dead. Leave it alone and it'll either make it or it won't, it's just luck of the draw. I've seen really bad sticks make it and some that weren't to bad die overnight...
 
If the parameters are good then it'll be ok, all the exposed skin will live and grow while the covered parts will die off eventually.
 
Sometimes I've had corals slough off glue when I've gotten it on it accidentally, so hopefully it will be fine.
 
You should be good as long as your params are straight. I intentionally glue acros in spots if they are having issues like tissue loss to keep it from spreading. That particular species is normally tough.
 
I've both accidentally and intentionally glued over corals before and everything was fine. just keep whats left happy and itll grow right over the glue
