401(k) rollover error by administrator

I initiated a payout of my 401(k) directing the administrator to pay after-tax contributions to me, to distributed Employer shares to a taxable brokerage account using the NUA provision, and to rollover the remainder of the 401(k) funds to a rollover IRA. The administrator instead rolled over the after-tax contributions to the IRA.

Can I get this reversed without running afoul of IRS regs?



Were these pre-1987 amounts that were separately accounted for?



Approximately 40% were pre-1987 after-tax contributions that were separately recorded.
