The answer

Your prayer is valid and you do not need to repeat it. What occurred does not affect its validity. The prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) is valid both before and after the salutation. The post-salutation prostration (sujud al-ba'di) is valid if performed before the salutation, or the pre-salutation prostration (sujud al-qabli) if performed after it, whether done intentionally or unintentionally. If one forgets the prostration of forgetfulness and then remembers it before a long time has passed, they should perform it.
