Changing ACT scores after I submit the application?

So I’m September I took the ACT and I didn’t think I did so well. I recently got a 30 on a practice test and didn’t finish three questions of the math section. I decided to study a little more and take the October Test. I did this. After I took the October test, I got my scores back from the September test, and learned I got a 34 Composite(32 Science, 33 Reading, 35 English, 35 Math, 8 Writing). It took so long to get my September scores because I have multiday extended time and I forgot to put my address on the test. Since I thought it would be hard to do better than a 34, I submitted the application with the September score. I am wondering now what to do if I end up doing better on the October test( I haven’t gotten scores back yet). Should I change to application to put the new scores in if I do better. Obviously the most I could have improved is two points, so that might not make a big difference. Part of the reason I’m wondering is that I’m little worried that my writing score of 8 is not high enough for top schools like UCB and UCLA. Would it be worth changing the application if I do better. I should get the October scores this week. I have not officially submitted to September scores, because I was told to allow two weeks. The deadline is the 31st for most school.
