A ramper's job is, emphatically, not to improvise ways of moving an airplane after a cascade of bad decisions has brought it to an airport without the required ground servicing infrastructure. Their job is to act within their trained procedures.
The decision, after realizing the mistake, to bail out and go back to square 1, was the correct one. Doubling down and assuming someone down the line will have a solution, forcing them to improvise on the spot with unforeseen consequences, is how accidents happen.
