The patch dilemma

So basically I started using the patch but I put it on really late in the day, like around 6pm. Once I put it on I didn’t stick it on proper so after 1 hour I took it of and replaced it. So as I stuck it on late in the day do I still count that as my first day and will I still be protected right away.
