Your post does not make this exactly clear, but if there was not a time-out or intermission before your team shot these free throws, the free throws should never have been administered.
The defense is only allowed to be absent from the bottom two lane spaces if the resuming-play procedure is in effect, which is only after a time-out or intermission. Otherwise, it is an immediate technical foul.
Any quality official will order the defense to fill these two spaces when necessary and only charge a T if the defense refuses to do as asked.
Of course, if you shot the free throws after a TO then the officials did it properly and you also correctly stated that the first miss would have only been a violation, but had you missed on the substitute throw, it would have been a T.
