You most certainly did do something wrong, as evidenced by the damage. (Which is not to say that there is any fault on your part.) There is supposed to be transfer switch that will not allow you to plug in while the generator is running, or rather to make sure both the generator and the shore power never meet one another. So I'm not sure what actually happened.
If you plug in the generator to shore power while the former is running, you can destroy the generator. Since it appears that shore power and generator power met one another, you will need to check for damage of the generator, too. Hopefully all that damage occurred at the power converter. But then I'd also try to find out why the transfer switch did not isolate things properly.
