Is there any way to revert the patch to a previous on the replay file when running the application?

I have a youtube channel and was playing ranked mordekaiser top, I ended up getting a pentakill but I had school the next day and it was very late. I figured I would just make the video when I got home the next day. Little did I know, there was an update to the game that came out today (7.2) and now I am unable to run the replay. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to get just the replay file of the match to be played without the message that keeps popping up saying, "This replay was created by an older version of League of Legends (7.1). You are running 7.2. These versions are incompatible. The game will now exit." If there is a way to just go back a patch to recover the video clip and rerecord it with OBS, can someone please show me how? Thanks.

There's no way to revert to a prior patch through the updating system. If it's possible to run the replay if you have the older client version, you'll need to get that version elsewhere (third party, or having saved a backup). Some 3rd party replay applications may offer outdated client downloads for this purpose.

This was one of the reasons why Riot was initially hesitant on implementing the replay, is that they didn't know how to make it backwards compatible.

But after people kept asking for it, Riot eventually decided that the backwards compatibility wasn't a necessary feature.
