Get Ritz fabric dye widely sold in grocery stores. Choose the color closest to the color of the carpet. The packet of dye is a powder. Sprinkle some is a glass bowl with water. Mix & test the color on the carpet in the closet to see if it matches. If too dark, add more water. Too light add more dye. If you use a plastic container it will stain. This worked like a charm to color dog urine stains around the baseboard.
I read that you could use diluted white distilled vinegar on a bleach stain. I have not had the need to try this but would try it if I did. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
get matching dye
call your insurance company. replacing this should be covered by your homeowners policy.
Get some fabric paint and mix some colors together, maybe adding black and/or white if necessary, to adjust shade. Thin it with a drop of water, and use paintbrush to lightly dab into the spots.
Here's a "just go with it" - drop more bleach onto the carpet in patterns.
If you can move furniture/plant stands over the spots...
Buy an area rug.
Grab some wine (white, you already have enough problems with stains),take some fortifying sips and deep breaths, look over your options,
and work on it with the other suggestions you've gotten.
Best wishes.
If your carpet fibers are more poly/nylon than wool, the dye will not work satisfactorily. Sadly, I know from experience. We ended up having to replace the carpet.
If you have a pec. of your carpet ....call a carpet installer or company that installed it for you. They can plug the bleach spots and you will never know it happened. Check and see if Ins. will pay for it.
