Situation: A friend and I are spending our first day visiting Paris.
If you had checked the size of your suitcase, you wouldn't have this problem now.

Hello,
Can both be correct?
No source/self made grammar examples
It also has source. I said "no source" because the second one has no source but the first one.
I really don't know whether it's related to an airport or not. I have taken a picture of the page.
If you click here, you will see it.
This is an exercise teaching conditionals:
1. If you ............ (check) the size of your suitcase, you wouldn't have this problem now. (Answer key = had checked)
I just wanted to know whether "checked" can be correct too or not.
In my opinion, both (checked) and (had checked) can work in there. But not sure.
If we use "had checked" it's mixed time conditional and if we use "checked" it's present unreal condition.
I wish one native English will clarify it to me. Thank you.
