After spraying Acephate 97UP Insecticide, it should not have damaged your azalea but if you applied it during high temperatures, it could have burned the leaves. The only thing we can recommend is to keep watering and give it time.
Per the Acephate 97UP Insecticide product label, you would apply 8 oz of Acephate per acre in 10-50 gallons of water. Please read the full application instructions for horn worms in tobacco on page 14 of the product label.
Acephate 97UP Insecticide is labeled for the bean leaf beetle and the elm leaf beetle, however the snowball bush is highly susceptible to the viburnum leaf beetle. We would recommend Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew as this product is labeled for all leaf eating beetles.
For aphids, Acephate 97UP Insecticide is applied at the rate of 0.5lb to 1lb per 50-100 gallons of water. This breaks down to 2/3 tsp to 1-1/3 tsp.per gallon of water. Repeat applications at the low rate should be done a 3 day intervals and for applications at the higher rate, repeat applicaitons every 7 days.

You would use 8oz (1/2lb) of Acephate 97UP Insecticide per 100 gallons, which breaks down to 0.08 oz per gal of water, which is about 2 grams or 1/2teaspoon.

Acephate 97UP Insecticide can be applied to roses without open flowers as this could cause damage. We recommend reviewing the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
