I think I did my tests wrong

I think I did both of my oral test wrong.  Both were neg. but that could be to my worng doing.  I just went to the manu. website and it says to swab between the teeth and gum.  I " Thought" I was told to swab between the cheek and gum.  Did I do it worng or would it have still be efeective?
