You'll get a slightly stronger bitter and have to add more sugar to carbonate.
It's not a problem.

i have more corn sugar should i go ahead and add when i was going to in the boil or not

I keg and set and forget so that wont be a problem

I wouldn't add it again in the boil if you want to keep it within the actual style guidelines of a bitter (low abv). If you don't care and want a little more alcohol then go ahead and add it. Otherwise, leave it how it is and you'll be fine.

THANK YOU. Dont know why i added in with the grains, entering this into a home brew contest so will stay within the guide lines.

when you say 'the' 6oz sugar, was that what was meant for priming bottles or was it an ingredient for the boil? you say you werent going to bottle condition so i assume its an ingredient in your recipe, but i dont know why any best bitter would call for any sugar quite frankly, but then again thats a lot of sugar for priming 5 gallons...
so if it was called for in the ingredients and you are sparging it will be exactly the same as adding during boil, if no sparge it will be slightly low sugar wise and you can adjust once youve taken your og with a bit of boiled syrup to meet your target.
If it was priming sugar you shouldnt have added any at all and you will be a bit high abv but not a huge amount. you could dilute slightly to meet target but i wouldnt bother.

either way its not going to be as noticeable as a million other factore

Divrack,
The recipe is from a book first published in the 70s.
The sugar should have gone into the 90 minute boil at 90 minutes, but it went in the mash.
I sparged and just put into fermentor and hit all my numbers spot on, 1.041.

The recipe is from a brewery from my home town in the UK. I brewed a batch when my parents came to visit last year, they brought me a bottle of the original and this recipe was very very close.
