HELP! - Sent ACT score by accident

Hi there. I took the SAT and got a 1440. However, I also took the ACT but during the period of an awful headache. I ended up with a bad 28 composite. As I accidentally (I did Free Score Send like a dumb dumb) sent my horrible ACT score to my top choices for university, I can’t stop hating myself. I have two-ish questions.

1. If I submit my SAT score as well, will they consider the SAT instead of the ACT or take both into consideration (leading to my eventual downfall)? (Really competitive universities)

2. If I don't put the ACT score in the application itself but already sent the score to the university, will I be penalized? Do I have the freedom of putting it onto the application if I already have the required SAT testing (despite having submitted my ACT score)?

I wonder if I could clear things up with the universities by sending them emails, but I’d like to hear from here first. Thank you so so much for your time!
