If that happens, then you should blow the whistle to stop play and ask your C and T if either of them saw you indicate that the try was a 3. You can then let one of them give the "touchdown" signal to the table before resuming the game.

If it is wrong, change it immediately. This should not be something you "ask" if you have a 3 and they did not signal.

At least that is how it is done at all levels I have worked.

So if you know there was a three point shot missed, then you go to the table and say, "That was a 3." You do not have a conversation with your partners for something like this in my opinion.
