This was a lesson I learned quite a while ago.
Whenever I pull off a wheel I make note of the way the spacers are inserted and double check that they are right way round when I put the wheel back on
So far (knock on wood) I've only ever had to remove a wheel for a new tire. Locally, the dealers want the spacers out when you bring it in so they don't have to contend with them when they balance the wheel.
If they're left in it's up to you to make sure they are fitted correctly when you get it back.
Heck, if we didn't make some mistakes we would never learn anything
As popgun said, I doubt very much if you have done any damage.
