If it didn't break you are in good shape. As I stated earlier, with aluminum butt joint welds, you will see the original joint line on the back side, but if you penetrated, it will just be a visible line, but not an actual gap that you could feel with a fingernail or something (think of it as a stain).
For that relatively thin material you do not need to leave a gap or bevel and it is good if you have a little hump showing up on the bottom when welding thin aluminum, if you don't you probably are not getting full penetration. None of this matters if the item you are building is lightly loaded, but when strength is an issue just make sure you fully penetrate.
It looks like you have it figured out plenty good for what you are making.
