What should I do about an incorrect visa stamp in my wife's passport after a recent immigration stamping error?

Question

Immigration Officer put the wrong stamp in my wife passport.

So what happened?
I did a visa run and I just arrived in phuket, I'm writting this from the van as I'm going home.
We're a family of four 3 Australian passport and wife Filippino, I told the immigration officer that we all have the DTV visa.
All Australian passports got 6 months but my wife got the wrong stamp and only 2 months, was waiting for the luggage when I found out about the stamp, so we all headed back and go to her and I told her, then she said something in thai like "I made a mistake" and then start to panic, the guy next to her was telling her something like "hurry up, your queue isn't moving, hurry" she was looking for something and made her desk a mess, then she finally found it, the void stamp, take out of the box and wasn't stamping the void in red so she grab a pen and put void in the stamp and put a new stamp.
Then she gave me the passport. 
I ask her if the problem has been solved, she replied yes I will fix later pointing at the computer.

What should I do guys?
I have travelled alot and nothing like this never happened to me, I don't want my wife go to a detention center because the wrong stamp.

Here some pictures of the stamps.

Always hand your passport to immigration officers with it open to the visa page you are entering on and say “I have a visa”.

You didn’t have to do anything. You already got a new stamp with the correct date, so there’s nothing to worry about.

1.) You wife with a Philippines Passport or any passport, such as Australia Passport, have had incorrect DTV Entry Stamps given by Thai Immigration Arrival Officers before, so this instance is not first time and will not be the last time

2.) Your wife has subsequently been given the Correct DTV Entry Stamp by the Thai Immigration Officer on Arrival at Phuket Airport

3.) Nothing to be worried about and any errors have already been corrected

4.) No need to follow up on this DTV Entry Stamp Error as it has already been corrected

5.) a very good Reminder to all to Always Double-Check your Entry Stamps by any immigration officer Anywhere in the world immediately upon arrival, so as to catch any potential errors as quickly as possible!

It’s was fixed. You will be fine.

Jonathan ********* · Answer

Go back to the same immigration office at the airport and get it resolved, make sure they load the info into the computer if it hasn’t already been done. That’s what I’d try for.

Ti ****** · Answer

It's fine now. She updated the stamp to 12th September. If you're really worried, go to immigration with a print out of all of your family member's DTV visas and your wife and her passport.
