Did the contact REALLY not contribute to the ball dislodging and going off the ankle? Were the two incidents separated in time at all? I think maybe you had a foul but impossible to tell without video.
But, if you didn't have a foul originally because as you said the contact didn't cause what later happened, then you still don't have a foul. In that case, I'd not be afraid of my partner's advice. You have an OOB situation and he had a better angle and/or clearly saw something you did not.
At any rate, I'm personally not comfortable making calls or passing on calls based on who I think saw or didn't see things. I have enough trouble knowing what I saw to worry about others!
