First of all, remember that most things are fixable if addressed promptly. And even if unfixable, it’s not necessarily fireable. If it’s truly a major mistake, hopefully you’ve alerted your superiors already?

Go talk to whoever is running the case and tell them exactly what happened. Fixing this is above your pay grade.
address it in the reply if it gets brought up.
