Depends how many wires you removed.
If you only removed the two wires going to the heater then no, as it makes no difference which connector the wires go to on the heater.

Note the the heater is rated for 240 volts which is the input voltage, there is really no way to hook it up where you would blow the heater.

Only install problem that might occur is if you somehow bent the heating element so that it touched the case (grounded element), this could burn out the element depending whereit was touching the case.
