Code of ethics and career question

I am in a team that does a lot of asset management stuff within an insurance company. I had built a model for capital management that was very beneficial and made a lot of waves. when it was supposed to be rolled out i accdentally ran it with stale parameters. I explained the major discrepancy and why if fixed the results would be ok the next quarter. however upon further looking back I found I had another set of stale parameters. effectively imagine I created the model but ran my own model wrong because of 2 parameters. I told folks about the first parameter because it was very impactful, the impact of the second one is much less. should I disclose it? I understand why you would say yes but I could at this point really have plausible deniability and there is a very little chance it will be discovered. also ultimately I have personal reasons why I really need to progress in my career (not worth getting into a sob story of one’s personal life).
