I don’t know the haladha, but i can offer two points:
1. Poskim say that the shtiler shemoneh esrei of a sha”tz is merely a preparation for the hoicher, and as such, many say that one should daven the nusach of the shul during not only the hoicher, but the shtiler as well.
2. Chazaras hashatz itself was instituted for the amrei haaretz who do not know how to daven properly.
When you began davening shtiler SE, you were doing so in your tole as shliach tzibur; if your SE was merely a preparation for your hoicher, then perhaps you were not yotzei to begin with.
Also, what can make this new person a Shat”z?
There are more fundamental problems here than whether ot not elokai netzur is said; it’s highly likely that neither you nor him were yotzei, though he probably is yotzei tefilah bedieved, as being quiet is not me’akev if i remember correctly.
