Refresh for the picture. Just as an aside, Automotive or RV batteries are about 2.1 volts per cell. So in your original picture there are only three cell caps per battery making 6 volts per battery. When wired like in the picture on the right they are in series and the voltage adds up to 12. In your after picture there are two large caps which are indicative of three cells under each cap for a 12 volt battery. So when you wired them is series you created 24 volts. Once you re-wire them like the left side picture you will only have 12 volts in the system.
Unfortunately I don't know if this would cause any damage. But my guess is there will possibly be a few blown fuses.
Oh, also you can still connect the two small wires to the negative side of the batteries after you re-wire them. They are still negative wires so they still go to the negative terminal (either negative terminal).
