I don't think it matters. Either way you weren't Summa.
I really wouldn't worry about it. Its 1) an easy mistake to make 2) its a super minor part of your application. The award is just given to people with x GPA, they already know your GPA 3) at my school cum laude alone is top 8%, it isn't unbelievable that magna cum laude would be 5% at another school.

What the hell? Tone it down boss. Magna is an achievement in its own right. Don’t take that away from OP
I highly doubt any will look into it and if they do they'll probably make the same mistake you did when interpreting it if they just take a quick glance. Regardless I don't think it matters.
I think his point was that OP didn’t misrepresent himself as getting summa when she didn’t, so top 5% versus top 7% doesn’t really matter.
It doesn't matter. Your GPA speaks for itself. Adcomms know the criteria vary from school to school and won't have yours memorized.
Do not call attention to the mistake by trying to "remedy" it.
