Noobed Jack lift point
 
3rd oil change first one done by me due to dealers either leaving globs of oil on my paint and the last dealership lifted my car wrong and the lift fingers gouged my side skirts.
I saw the jack point online and I’m mentally burnout from work and In a hurry. I lifted the car with my jack with rubber guard on just behind the oil pan on that subframe. (I know you’re supposed to use the very front location after inspection) 🤦🏻*♂️. That’s not an issue right? Thanks for your time

You did that through the aluminum skid plate? I'm not sure what's the gap between the skid plate and the subframe rail there. There's also the steering rack slightly more to the back. If it didn't feel like you buckled anything and there were no noises when lifting, I'm guessing you're okay. Perhaps the skid plate helped distribute the load.
You can remove the skid plate (and potentially the transmission cover as well) to inspect and take photos of the rail.

Yeah it lifted fine and I won’t ever do that again. Thank you!
