What is the ruling if the imam makes a mistake in a quiet prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This means, if an imam is leading a quiet prayer and forgets to recite al-Fatihah, and he wants to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, but the congregation does not know why he is prostrating for forgetfulness. It is a quiet prayer, and I forgot to recite al-Fatihah and recited a short surah, then I remembered in the same rak'ah that I had not recited al-Fatihah and had recited a short surah. In this case, the ma'mum did not notice that his imam made a mistake. So in this case, does he perform the prostration for forgetfulness?
