Default jack stand position - mk7 fiesta st

Hi

I had to change the brake pads on my mk7 FiST the other day so I jacked the car up using the normal jack first and then used a trolley jack on the blue spots in the pic , was that a safe place ?

car looks and drives fine just want to make sure if I need to again in the future its ok

From the workshop manual, it should only be jacked from the side points as per the attached.

Should not have if you do it once here and there, just don't make it a habit!
