Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
This does not affect the validity of the ghusl. In fact, it is necessary for washing each part to include something from the other part that is connected to it if one does not have certainty that the obligation has been fulfilled without doing so.
May you be successful in all good.
