LSL backpay rate error

It seems I have entered LSL backpay incorrectly and I am unsure how to correct this. I hope my explanation makes sense.
Pay run week 1 - LSL entered with incorrect rate used (difference of 10c per hour).
Pay run week 2 - backpay entered using LSL payroll item as previous pay run (ie .rate @ .10 hours @ 40:00). This decreased the accrued leave available by another 40 and increased the YTD used by another 40.
There has since been another pay run before realising the issue this has caused.
I guess I have two questions. Firstly, how should I have processed the LSL backpay if I couldn't update the original paycheque. Secondly, how do I correct the resulting issue and reflect the correct details on the employee's payslip for their information.
I have spoken with Reckon support who themselves weere confused. Finally after 50 mins of research they advised to edit the employee 'payroll and compensation' information under the 'Leave details' tab by decreasing the hours used by 40 then increasing the 'hours accrued per pay' by 40 and remove this after running the next pay run. Does that sound right to anyone.
I really appreciate any help you can provide. My employer does not use an accountant so this is my only access to help.

Thank you again for your help.
Yes, I was also talking about a RA account. I have to seek permission for setting up many things including items and accounts unfortunately.
The information you have provided is very helpful and will help me greatly in the future. Thank you.
