Just another example of someone asking for help realizing that they just misread the instructions and then trying to cover up their backside afterwards. Be honest you just admit you made a mistake and learn from it.
Even the best of us make mistakes. Its our admitting that we did and learning from it that makes us better in the long run. Don't be ashamed of making a mistake as long you learn from it; although, some can be costly for not asking for help when needed.
Personally I have made a lot of them myself over the years and when in doubt learned to ask for help to clarify something.
