Was I just angled?

First post, but been playing poker 20 years, never had something like this happen.

This is 1/3 NL Holdem, I'm about $700 deep to start the hand. I'm about 1.3 stuck and getting some bad luck but in ok spirits overall. I have 1 headphone in and listening to music while we play.

Situation, Hero is under the gun with QQ.

I start by raising to $40
Villain 2 in cutoff calls $40
Main Villain 1 on the button is a grinder/pro and raises to $125
Hero calls $125
Villain 1 folds.

Flop is 3h 3s KD.

Hero Checks
Villain bets by slapping down $25 chip across the betting line
Hero Check Raises to $125
Villain 1 slaps the call with 4 more chips 125

Turn is 8s
Hero Checks
Villain Bets, slapping down 3 $25 chips for $75 past the betting line
Hero Calls

Here is where it gets weird.

River is 10s
Hero Checks
Villain 1 (who has about $2k plus behind) verbally says all in then slaps down 4 $25 chips across the line as done previously for what I thought was $100 bet.

While dealer is grabbing the all-in button, Hero, who has 1 headphone in and did not hear the verbal bet, grabs 4 $25 chips and tosses in a quick call.

Villain 1 turns over AA and I muck my hand.
Floor is called after I'm told it was an all-in and the Villain does not budge that he should get the remaining $400ish I have left behind.
Floor gets the explaination, reviews footage and while the all-in button wasn't out yet and my action was very clear, it does not matter and I'm forced relinquish the remaining $400+ I had left behind.

Thoughts on this? Per the floor it is a game of attention and I did not protect myself and they could not protect me in this situation.
