put right
Fix the mistake
To put right is to correct, fix, or restore something to its proper state.
You put right a mistake, an injustice, or a misunderstanding: Let me put that right—I never said you were wrong.
The phrase implies remedying something that has gone astray: The mechanic put right the engine trouble within an hour.
British usage favors this over American "make right."
