If you used water soluble glue then it may be possible to dampen it enough to reposition the strips. I did that on one or two small areas. You can also cut along the bead/cove joint with a utility knife which may allow enough play to reposition the strips; they will likely be plenty solid after it is glassed. You can remove the four strips; maybe by cutting along the bead/cove with a utility knife and then using a rabbet plane to make a winding bevel if necessary. Or, it may be the margin of error is small enough so you can just ignore it.

Personally... it is early enough in the process that you might just go ahead and remove the bad strips. You'll sleep a lot better. Redos will just get harder and harder.
