Peace be upon you. According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani, since you have not been washing your hands completely, even out of ignorance, your wudu (ablution) is invalid. You must repeat all the prayers you performed without a valid wudu or a wash that suffices for wudu. May you be successful in all good.
