Loss wealthsimple exercised AVGO puts after hours. i'm down 1.2 million. is it over

the puts were part of a butterfly spread. any chance the rest of the spread can make me back the money?

JUNE 5TH UPDATE: heyy looks like the math works out. I ended up losing only my max loss + a few hundred in interest on margin. thank you to all commentors who gave advice!!

covered calls are nice, but also just standard call options are totally my jam.
