My SO told me her mom is still upset that I didn’t apologize to her which I stated I did repeatedly and even bought flowers as an olive branch(FYI I didn’t apologize at that time due to having guests in the home) andI at least made a gesture. So should I apologize again to just ease the tension with her mom?

I think you've done enough, really. If it's not enough for her, it's not your problem any longer.

Update: so it’s been a few weeks now and I thought everything has kind of cooled down. guess not. My SO has acknowledged she had some blame in the incident but her mom is still holding a grudge against me. My SO told me her mom is still upset that I didn’t apologize to her which I stated I did repeatedly and even bought flowers as an olive branch(FYI I didn’t apologize at that time due to having guests in the home) andI at least made a gesture. So should I apologize again to just ease the tension with her mom? I feel I already did but I also want to make sure my relationship with her mom stays on good terms. Please help. TIA

No, this is a bit much now. It sounds like you attempted to make peace and repair the relationship, but her mother is not willing to let it go. You don't need to apologize again as that would be enabling her behaviour.
