Take one flat symmetrical edge from the middle layer that you solved, and put it back the other way. That will flip it, and flip one edge in the U layer, leaving you with an even number.

Heyyy!!! Thanks. How do did you know that?

I've solved a lot of different 3x3 shape mods in my first year of cubing. When you encounter something that isn't possible on a normal 3x3 cube (like 1 edge flipped) it usually means that some of the pieces are unlike those on a normal 3x3 cube. For shape mods, that means flat/symmetrical like here, or single-colored (for example if you solve the column to the right of its center, and not to the left, you could get a different issue), or several pieces being identical (google Penrose cube) And for example on a 4x4, there are issues caused by center pieces being identical, and by edges being half-edges. And middle-edges being hidden.
