Can "should be" used in this way?

Suppose we want to say "they should not have supported it" and instead we did a typo and said "they should have supported it" - forgot to add the word "not".

Then can we correct it by saying: sorry it should be "they should not have supported it" not "should have supported it"

Question is: Does the "should be" used correctly for correcting the typo? Or, can it be corrected by other way?


PS:Apology if I've asked the question in a confusing way Emotion: smile.

Thanks and regards Emotion: smile

Razer Suppose we want to say "they should not have supported it" and instead we did a typo and said "they should have supported it" - forgot to add the word "not". Then can we correct it by saying: sorry it should be "they should not have supported it" not "should have supported it" You can correct it like that. Or just shorten it to the part where the typo occurred.
