Dealer put in different transmission fluid. Is my cvt screwed?

I have a 2014 Forester XT. I took it into the dealer and they recommended i get new fluid put in my cvt. I figured, sure, better safe than sorry. I specifically told them that it needs the orange high torque fluid and they said ok. When I picked my car up after it was done I noticed on the way home that the part number for the fluid was different than the high torque fluid.

I called them immediately and asked them what they put in it and they said "the blue kind" WRONG FLUID.(soa427v1610) vs the high torque (soa748v0200)

So, my question is, how screwed is my transmission? Even if they flush the trans with the right fluid, there will still be old fluid left in it so what should I do?
