You're out of work and back on UI so I assume you have lots of time.
Go ahead and give it a try.

This will be your biggest hurdle.

Hence, the reason why I reported earnings on the following week certification period. I was extremely clueless, it was a stupid mistake and it was the first time receiving unemployment. So should I just pay the balance & leave the appeal process alone?

Because your reporting is correct, just a week off, you can sell this story. To bolster it further, you can say, "when I was doing base period calculations, the date on the pay check controlled which quarter the wages went into and not the fact that I worked the time in the prior quarter."
A CA ALJ would eat that up because its true: date paid for wage reporting for determining benefits, and it's when the work was performed for the claim form. No wonder people mess this up.
