Lateral interview two weeks ago and haven't heard anything

I had a second round lateral Associate interview two weeks ago. They gave me a modeling test and I made a mistake in it. I stupidly forgot the perpetuity growth formula (I've never had to actually use that method at work, though that's obviously not an excuse). Everything else was right, though. I know that because I triple checked everything.

Should I try following up? Or just leave it be? It's lateral so if they have other candidates I'm guessing it'll take time for them to get through second rounds, but also would assume if they were interested they would've reached out to me by now. Everything else went well aside from that one formula in that one cell. On the plus side, I'll never forget that formula again.
