Hideho smart peoples!

Quick question -
I submitted an individual Form 1 in January , for an SBR build that I wanted to do. At the time I was wholly ignorant on the issues with AR pistols and braces.. they just aren't my thing at all.
I bought a 10.5" barreled 450 Bushmaster Upper ( carbine gas block) to attach to an existing lower that I had.
When I originally read through the ruling ; I thought " Hey! I own a pistol upper, that's me!" ... and went the route of not paying the $200 bucks.

But in further reading the exemption specifies a pistol length upper with an arm brace already attached. Which, of course, wasn't the case with mine.

So I'm thinking I should've paid the 200 bucks, and I am NOT actually exempt under the grace period.

Am I correct?
What should I do?

I don't mind paying the 200 bucks, but damn I'd hate to withdrawal the application and start at the bottom of the pile again...

Also- my wife is getting worried about me. I keep spreading AR parts around the house in various and wholly separate locked containers while mumbling " No Constructive possession my precious, John has a long, long mustache.. " under my breath. :)
 
Err .. So to be 100% clear here on the heretofore innerweb of evidence, there WAS a brace on the lower- just not on the upper as indicated by the ruling... and that was my confusion since the lower is what the brace was attached to?

I couldn't put them together in order to fill out the application, since that would have made a pistol. ..

I have since disposed of said brace, since I didn't want to risk breaking the law. I was just using it when I shot my 16" barreled AR like a pistol one handed all " John Wicky" like. ..
