301 Redirect Error

How can I fix this?

I recently changed my static html site to a dynamic cms-based back-end. The content of the site essentially remained the same other than some new content that I added.

Because of the change, I had to create 301 redirects from my static urls to the new dynamic urls. Since I had to do this on a page by page basis, I ended up with a good number of redirects.

The problem is I spotted a couple errors in the redirects where I accidentally redirected to an incorrect page. I have since corrected this in my htaccess file, but the problem is Google has already indexed the new url, and the old static url no longer appears in the search results. So, essentially what I have now is a permanent redirect to an incorrect page.

Is there anything I can do at this point to get this corrected? I want to make sure the redirect gets changed to the correct page. I'm not sure this warrants making a reconsideration request with Google, and emailing Google's help address will probably go unanswered based on what I've heard from people.

Has anyone had to deal with this in the past that can give me a suggestion? Any ideas?

Just add a 301 redirect from the incorrect page where you made the mistake to the proper location.
