2005 Acura RL still misfiring after Coils and plugs changed

i recently experienced my car missing and idling hard after I start it. I just filled the gas tank up but have not been using 93 octane lately. Took it to my mechanic and he changed plugs and coils but stated it’s still misfiring and idling hard. My mechanic stated that the timing belt may be stretched. As I said earlier I hadn’t use high octane gas. I need help and answer please. I have about 260,000 miles and this the 1st major problem with my RL

Well for one, were the correct spark plugs bought?
2. All the connections for the coils seated all the way?
3. Use premium as recommended
4. If you haven't done the TB by this point, probably should do that ASAP.

What coils and plugs did you use?

TB = Timing Belt
