I accidentally forgot to put an extra 0 in my account number and I don't know how to go about changing it so I can get my refund. The IRS website says they sent it

I forgot to add an extra 0 to my account number and didn't noticed until it said that the IRS sent the refund to the bank on the 23rd and I never received it. Idk what to do and how to correct it so I can get my refund?? Please help!

If you have not filed yet or have been rejected and you entered the incorrect banking information for your refund. You can change it using the link below.

  If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it. If the account is still incorrect. The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.  Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return.

Yes it was accepted, I went to my bank and they said they didn't receive it but the good thing, the wrong account number doesn't exist so that's a good thing. Hoping that they will mail it to me. Thank you for the reply.
