Remember, if your partner has a no-call on action in his primary coverage area he has passed on a call for a reason. Continue to rely on fact that your partner got it right and reassure yourself that you did the right thing also by not making a call.

Let me make a suggestion that you also have a postgame. Take a few minutes to talk to your partners. They know you are relatively new to officiating and from your post you definitely want to improve.

1. Evaluate your own performance. Positives and things you might have done differently.

2. Get feedback from your partners on your mechanics and judgement.

3. Talk about the plays that happened during the game. The same questions you asked on this forum you could have asked your partner directly what he saw and ask why he had no-call.

I spent 18 years evaluating Div 1 officials and I can tell you that the best were great at knowing when a no-call is better for the game than making a call that is what I call a "game interupter".
