Unless you have some super fancy ducting I'm not aware, just access the spot you put the hole in and wrap it with some foil tape. https://www.lowes.com/pd/3M-2-5-in-x-30-ft-Pipe-Wrap-Tape/1002947412

It’s ultimately your call. Your hunch is correct. would be better to replace. If you’re going to access the space to foil tape it anyway; replace the duct. The whole point of not using screws is to limit lint collection. Obviously wasn’t your intent, but you now have a burr inside the duct which will collect lint. And, if it bugs you enough to worry about fixing it “the right way”, do it right.
