If this doesn’t work I’d ask (not to be a dick), how sure are you about the oil bottle count? Still have them in the trash to count just to make sure?

I'd say monitor it the next couple days and try to force measure the oil level reading a few different times, on a level surface of course as Scippy had suggested above.
If it still reads low then, add oil in 1/4 bottle increments and monitor. It does take quite some time for smaller increments to register sometimes, so be sure not to over add.

I used 9L exactly, and let each bottle drain for awhile before moving onto the next. I used the oil change kit from FCP euro, which came with one 5 liter and four 1 liter bottles. I still have them in the garage.
I’m definitely worried to over add because I thought the max fill on these cars is 9L. But I will try the above mentioned methods to see if I can get a better reading.
