BG Buddy and Illegal Moves

Hi, I’d like some advice as I want to address illegal moves while using BG Buddy. As you can see in this video @3.40 a double 4 is misplayed and noticed by Yan after his opponent has picked up the dice but before Yan rolled his own. Yan finds a way to continue by rolling and picking up his dice - putting his opponent back in play and thus starting his clock, rolling a dummy 62 while he plays the original 44. (But I don't want weird rolls in my list as I'm working on a transcription aid)

So my questions are:

1) What if Yan had rolled the dice - would the illegal play stand?

2) If the illegal play is still correctable after Yan rolls, what do we do about Yan’s rolled dice? Does he get a choice to keep them or roll again?

Here’s the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=364&v=5MON9RTEP_k

btw there already exists a Tournament Director window where clock times can be adjusted if necessary.
