I had botox for a gummy smile and now have a terrible joker smile. Can this be fixed by targeting other muscles? (Photo)

I recently had botox to correct a gummy smile. I was also injected above my top lip for the purpose of a lip flip and had some in my DAOs. I now have a joker type smile and I also look like the amazon logo with arrows either side of my smile. I was only injected at the side of my nose for gummy smile. I have seen others inject in 2 other areas for this along the cheek where my smile is high and wide. Was the wrong muscle for my particular gummy smile targeted?
