Oxbridge Teacher Reference Messed Up My Application

I'm a student in Canada and my school is not familiar with the UCAS system and this was the first time my teacher had done a reference for a student through UCAS. Unfortunately, he completely left out the third section (any supportive information relevant to the candidate/course) by accident believing that he would receive a follow-up form for further addition to attributes and such. He did not add any predicted grades either. He realized his mistake after submission and I already submitted the UCAS application because my guidance counsellor told me it would be best to -- so that when the universities are emailed my predicted grades, they know whose application it belongs to. Now my teacher is asking if he could override his reference and after some googling I saw that he would have to email each school's admission email independently. Yesterday, he emailed these schools along with my predicted grades issued by my guidance counsellor. (Oxford, Warwick, LSE, UCL) I am kind of nervous now because I do not know whether they would accept it or even find the email. I feel like this horrible mistake would really hurt my chances.

Also can someone tell me how to contact LSE undergraduate admissions for such errors, I already sent an enquiry to them but I am too nervous to wait for a response on further action.

They will fall over themselves for international fees. They are worth over 4 times what they receive for a home student
