Bees Brood Nest Top Bar Hive

What should I do if I knock honeycomb off of a top bar?

I have a top bar beehive and I went out today to move the false back so they have more room to build honey comb. Unfortunately, in the process of doing this, I knocked two of the biggest honey combs, all filled with brood, off of their top bars. I’m not sure what I should do with this comb. Should I leave it in the hive? Will any of the brood survive if I leave it in there? Or should I take it out and consider it a loss? Will it seriously harm my hive? Oh, I feel so horrible!
