Concurrent I-140/I-485 Filing - Payment Issue - USCIS

My I-140 and I-485 were filed concurrently. The company used their credit card to pay the I-140 fee, while my attorney used my credit card for the I-485 fee.
Unfortunately, my I-485 payment was declined because my bank flagged the USCIS charge as potentially fraudulent. I authorized the transaction with my bank immediately, but the payment was still refunded.
Does anyone know what happens in this situation? Since the I-140 payment was made with a different card and went through, would USCIS reject only the I-485, or could they reject the entire concurrently filed package, including the I-140?
Trying to understand the worst-case scenario and what happens next.
