On the printout that has you working through the night, fill in the details on the back with a line through the rest boxes to show a correction.
Like this. SDR and edr are start and end of daily rest.
You should do a tachograph analysis printout from whichever software you use, highlighting the infringement, write on it that the driver was given a warning about potential disciplinary action and give details of training that was provided by the TM (ie by yourself to yourself ), then take yourself outside and give yourself a cuff round the ear
Mistakes happen, it’s when you don’t bother to explain a mistake (infringement) that the authorities get upset, so I wouldn’t sweat it.
There was no real need for DVSA to start insisting on manual entries to the extent they have done, I can’t see it’s going to make a significant impact on road safety, which should be their main concern.
Hi, as said do two print outs one to keep and one for the office , write on both with a brief explanation and you will be fine , a tip for you, before you put your card in at start of shift always put tacho on break, it will then register any time before as a daily or weekly break.

Except that isn’t enough to keep DVSA happy under the new rules for recording rest.

“Don’t do manual entries” is the moral of the story here.
Respect the voice of wisdom and experience.^^^^^^^
I will add a caveat or two however.
Tacho is not a common sense game. You make an obvious administrative only error and there in a minority of Coppers/Dvsa that will happily do you for this so take Harry’s advice.
If it is blatantly obvious you still need a manual entry then perhaps consider very carefully what you will enter.
As said already, never sweat a mistake. Simply do a printout immediately and enter the correct version on the back of the printout and this has priority over all other records. Then crack on and have a nice day
