What embarrassment, they are both honors.
Did you pay for the honor of Hagbah that morning? If not, move on.
If it makes you feel better, discuss what happened with the Gabbai, so it doesn’t happen again,
.
Lastly, follow the methodology of modern synagogues, spend a few dollars and buy a set of honors cards for the Gabbai to hand out. They list the honor: Cohen, Levi, Slishi, etc., Maftir, Hagbah (or 1 and 2), Gelillah (or 1 and 2). The holder of the honor card comes up to the bima and hands the card to the Gabbai or puts it on the Shulchan. Everyone knows which honor the man is getting.
It is common to hand the cards for honors for a Bar Mitzvah or Wedding family to the father who distributes them to his guests (who may not be known to the Gabbai).
