Last week I inspected my 2 hives and both bouncing and packing out the supers. I inspected today to find brood and eggs above the QE in the super. I can only assume Q was on QE last week and ended up on the wrong side. My bad. I have put QE above super to create brood + 1/2, with empty super on top. Question is what to do next. Do I just leave it, put clearer board in to empty it, split and nuc the half?
 
Such happens. Take the excluder off and let the queen use the super as brood box

Next time when you enlarge the hive, put second brood box under the first broodbox.
Gradually bees fill the super with honey. When all brood are capped, put the excluder again.
