The green Volvo fluid has a specific property in that it works at really cold temperatures (and I mean tens of degrees below freezing point), whereas what you put in will not.

It is highly unlikely that you are currently driving in such temperatures at the moment

So flush out the old, and in with the new, and the problem is solved.
Without any damage anywhere.

If you want to be really obsessive about it, flush and fill now, and then repeat in a few weeks. Just in case the first flush did not get 100% of the (old dirty wrong) fluid out.
