ZFS nightmare

I have a single disk pool for all my VMs called "storage". The nvme 2TB disk gives errors, so I bought long ago a SATA 4TB disk to replace it.
I added the disk to the pool to create a mirror. But the pool was still in degraded mode. So I bought the same 4TB disk to make it a mirror and replace the faulty 2TB, to finally have a proper 4TB mirrored pool.
It didn't go as planned and I'm now with this situation where I had to unplugged all the new disks to get my Proxmox back:

Code:
root@pve:~# zpool status -v storage
  pool: storage
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data
    corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the
    entire pool from backup.

  scan: resilvered 0B in 00:27:02 with 5 errors on Fri Sep 29 19:52:30 2023

        storage/vms/vm-504-disk-0@StartDemo:<0x1>
        storage/vms/vm-701-disk-0:<0x1>
root@pve:~#


What would be the best way for me to get out of this nightmare?
- New pool with the 2 new disks and copy the data?
- try again to include the disk in original pool?

Thanks for your help,

Eric
