This is the real problem with what the official did.
He essentially made a call that he couldn't see. Signaling for a three-point try is no different from calling a foul--call what you see and see what you call.
In this case the official failed to adhere to that and it caused a problem. At least he was intelligent enough to ask for help from the table crew and they bailed him out.
