Tough situation for the crew. If the try truly did not strike the ring, then this is a mistake by the shot clock operator.
The CIF uses a 35 second shot clock for boys basketball. The rules for its use are published in a CIF rules modification document. I'll consult that and then post again, but my current thought is that this is a timing error, not a correctable error, so if the crew doesn't catch it before the goal is scored, it cannot be fixed.
My analogous situation for those who work HS ball without a shot clock would be the game clock timer failing to start the clock with 3.5 seconds left in a quarter and a team scores. If none of the officials used definite knowledge to blow the play dead before the goal, it has to count and the game continues with the ensuing throw-in by the opponent after any adjustment of the clock by the referee. If no one had any count, then 3.5 stays on the clock.
