Have I lost my Bitcoin?

I bought some BTC in some exchange. I bought a big amount, and I wanted to keep them secure, so, I bought a Ledger device. I created my wallet, wrote down my words in paper, and opened Ledger Live app.

After a bit of investigation I understood the difference between Taproot, Segwit, etc. Also that I can have a Read-only wallet on my phone, so I can receive BTC just using my smart phone.

What mistake have I done? I decided to copy my Taproot xpub... address, and I imported it into the Blue Wallet app. The Blue Wallet app generated a Legacy address for me, instead of a Taproot address. I just copied one sending address from Blue Wallet and I sent there the money.

Now I access to my Blue Wallet app, and I see the BTC, but from the Ledger Live I see 0 BTC, even if I import a Legacy address... (the xpub from the Legacy is different from the xpub from the Taproot)

Is there any way that I can move the BTC? Or is it lost forever?
