Default Concerned about possible battery damage

Hello all,
I am new to the site and wanted to post a quick question with hopes of getting some insight. I am a new 06HCH owner and was in a situation the other day where I had to jump start a Jeep Cherokee. First off, we didn't jump the Jeep, either by doing it incorrectly or other reasons unknown to me. I may just be overly concerned, but wanted some assurance here.

My car was running to start with (should have had it off obviously as I have found out now), and then the jumper cables were attached to each cars battery. The jeep never started, but does anyone think I may have been able to damage my alternator, or electric battery in the rear?

The cars seems to be running fine - but wanted to see if anyone thought I should take it in to be looked at, or if anyone's had experience with jumping cars off the hybrids.

Thanks much.
