In your case, the player was no longer in the game. Therefore the protest (it's a protest, not an appeal) is invalid and not recognized. All earlier play is legal.
I'm not so sure about this, but I believe that the alleged unreported substitute was never officially in the game, and still has all of her entry / reentry rights available.

Speaking ASA
An unreported substitute shall be disqualified when discovered in the game. However, the team may report the sub at anytime without penalty. This is handled as a protest by the opposing team.
If there is no legal replacement for the unreported sub (another sub or a legal reentry), the team may play shorthanded. If discovered while an active runner in this situation, they will be removed from the base, DQed and an out will be declared. (ASA 4.6.B)
