Grading snafu - What do I do?

So I submitted several coins with line 1 and line 2 being the same coin in different finishes.
Line 1 was submitted as PCGS# 79702 which is a matte proof finish
Line 2 was submitted as PCGS# 151628 which is MS finish
Submission results hit in the middle of the night and PCGS updated line 1 to match line 2's coin number even though they are clearly different coins:
What do I do in this situation?
Any insights are appreciated.

Call PCGS customer service.
I did but was told that they will try to stop the order from going out to me.
I'm more curious if this happened to anyone else and what transpired.
My guess is this happened because the PCGS employees were “Russian” (rushing, like the coin, lol).

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

5 days later and the grade has been fixed! All without leaving their building...
Now I have to patiently wait for the package to be sent out.
I think that they were temporarily confused by the matte, not mirror finish that they were expecting on a proof.
Could be but I would expect coin grading experts to know a MS from Matte coin...
