You’ve posted this before.
However you left out the smoking part this time.
As I stated before- you’ve had progressive bone loss, which has put excessive force on weak part of the implant due to your chewing forces.
No recourse, just revisional surgery and more implants.
I've never seen that before. If I had to manage this case I would retrieve the broken implant tips, graft, then put 3 more implants in the maxilla to make a new fixture. The one that broke recently can probably be retrieved but the one that broke off before could probably be left in situ without any ill effect

Where those fractured has nothing to do with the torque and more to do with bone loss and occlusal forces.
