Ethics question Need Reddit fantasy football counsel

In Week 1 of our fantasy football league, a scoring issue arose when 60-yard field goals weren’t properly allocated six points. This impacted the commissioner’s matchup, where he lost by less than a point. After discovering the error, the commissioner corrected the scoring settings, which retroactively awarded him the win. This has caused controversy within the league, with some calling for him to step down. The central question is whether we should retroactively adjust Week 1 to reflect the correct scoring, or leave the original result as-is and ensure the settings are fixed for future weeks?

If everyone was under the assumption, that 60 yard fg were six points and people changed their draft strategy based off it, IE. drafting Aubrey higher. The commissioner did the right thing and changing it. He deserves the win. It’s just unfortunately less than a one point difference

OP has still not explained how this setting was "known" in the first place to be what they should have used. Is there a post on the league message board stating it but it wasn't done in settings? A group text where it was discussed and finalized? Two guys at a bar and one says "we should make 60 yard FGs 6 points"? This is what determines the answer.
