I was in the fringe. I mishit my ball badly and I hit another ball which was in the fringe. Do I get a penalty?

No penalty. Rule 11.1a

Play your ball as it lies in its new location. Rule 11.1b(1)

The other player’s ball is replaced on its original spot. Rule 9.6

(Pedant note. 'Fringe' is not a defined term. When you say 'fringe', I assume you mean the general area. i.e. your ball was not on the putting green)
