Just wondering if there was any way to correct my mistake short of cancelling and rebooking which the fees wouldn't make it cost effective.

It depends on the transaction is reported to Citi by the Airline. If it is reported as Miscellaneous, then you will not get any flight points. But if the charge says additional or whatever else, and your itinerary is also reported including the date of first travel and the routing, you will earn flight points.
