If I ever stretch my quads or psoas, the next day my mid+lower back will hurt, or at least be uncomfortable.

Any ideas as to why this might happen?
 
Could have something to do with your sciatic nerve if its knee/lower back pain. If it's just soreness maybe you're rounding and tensing your lower back when you perform these stretches? My lower back used to get sore when I did straddle stretches.
 
Too many factors to consider. Post a video of how you stretch.
 
If the low back is hurting it's possible you may need to work on your core strength too. If you have the means to see a physical therapist. They'll better be able to pinpoint the source and give you corrective exercise
