Went to drill over flow and realized it is to low. Just marked the glass, can I still raise it if need be? Or is the tank ruined?

I am no expert but I would drill it again but not near where you started the first holes (so move left or right). Then test the tank for a week or two full of water, but not anywhere you wouldn't want a leak/explosion (outside, in the garage, something like that) - and see whether you can trust it or not.
The only thing you risk that way is time. If the tank breaks, at least it didn't flood your house.
 
Needs to go up an inch, wonder if that is to close
