Contracted Amount More Than My Rates

Card image cap

I am a US based influencer, I still work a full time job though and have no management. Recently I worked with a local brand that I enjoy working with and have worked with in the past. I sent over my rates and they sent a contract. Based on my rates and the scope of work the total amount should have been $2250 but the contract stated $4500 as the total amount to be paid. I thought great! This isn’t out of the ordinary and I’ve had brands before pay more than my rate so I didn’t think anything of it. I signed the contract sent it back to them, posted the content, and I thought all was well. Until today I get an email saying they are processing the $2250 payment and I said the signed contract states $4500 not $2250 and they claim that it doesn’t matter what the contract said, you said your rates were x,y,z, so that is what we are paying, the contract is wrong.
I really don’t want to burn bridges here but I signed a contract for one amount and I just want to know what I am legally owed. I won’t pursue legal action because I don’t think it is worth it in this case. I just want to know who is right. They are also refusing to just admit they made a mistake in the contract which is all I want them to do. They just keep saying the amount in the contract isn’t what we agreed upon… even though it’s what I signed.
