Overfilled Oil in 2024 Kia Sportage LX 2.5L

So I pulled a bonehead move and completely forgot to drain the oil pan and only did the filter before putting in 4 quarts of oil. After letting the engine idle for a minute or two I was confused why the oil level was so overfilled when I realized my mistake. I did not drive it anywhere and immediately drained all the oil out. Should the engine be fine?
