Narrative:
I was assigned to accomplish the removal and installation of the r-hand inboard flight spoiler on aircraft X. I removed the spoiler. The amt responsible for the rii actually researched the part information and retrieved the part for me. I received the part and inspected it. It appeared to be the correct part. I installed the part and accomplished all leak and operations checks; the amt responsible accomplished all necessary rii checks. All the checks were fine. The aircraft was dispatched and I did not think about it again. Tonight I was informed that the effectivity of the part I installed was incorrect.
