HSA rolled into Roth IRA by mistake!

I put in a request to roll $4800 of my current work HSA to my TD Ameritrade HSA account. Instead, in error, they rolled it over to my TD Ameritrade Roth IRA.

I searched online and could find nothing about this, other than it is not allowed.
Since earnings will still be tax-free, I guess it does not matter.

The reason I rolled it over to begin with, is because the work HSA has fewer options and I earn more with the TD Ameritrade HSA. For now, I prefer to pay healthcare expenses (not a high cost and I can afford it easily) out of pocket and let the HSA money grow with earnings tax-free, similar to my Roth accounts.

Should I be concerned about this error or not worry about it?
