The damage is done or it’s not done. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Drive the car with conviction and joy. If something comes up down the road, deal with it. If you feel like getting read at an independent Porsche service place, go for it. I wouldn’t take it to the dealer. That would give her the scarlet letter if there are range 3 and above.

Yeah, I would echo @sgroer if you take it to dealer and they find out you got into zone 3 they won't cover any future engine work.. and car will likely be flagged...

Yeah it doesn't make sense that you would go from 5500 rpm in 3rd to >9K in 2nd unless you were double clutching in excitement and your aggressive throttle blip caused you to bounce off of the limiter...

if u dump from 3 to 2 at 5500 and let the clutch out, you are still fine. I do that often.
u are way below 9k in 2nd. not sure what's the worry
if you money shifted, you WILL KNOW. the engine will be in pieces.

It caused a problem with your wing, because its up and you are parked. Unless, you drive and park like that.

Like others said, try not to sweat it and what’s done is done. As long as the car is driving fine just enjoy it.
But in the future if you are north of 5k rpm I wouldn’t attempt to downshift.
