Thats correct, unfortunately for you. The outcome of this hand beat you both and that's all the cards are used for. The second and third placings are decided by who had the larger chipstack at the beginning of the hand, and as you said you were on short that means you placed 3rd in this game.
Sorry.

Same thing happened to me once. There were 3 of us left at a big tourney and I had the short stack. We all went all in and I beat the guy with the second largest stack but we both lost to the chip leader so I placed third. This was at party poker. It was annoying but not much one can do about it.
