Dealing with conflict in the OR

I'm a new grad looking for work in an operating room. I recently had an interview for an OR position that went well (I ended up being offered the job), but I didn't like how one of the questions went and I'm wondering if anyone can share their insight.

I was asked what I would do if I was working as a circulating nurse and I observed a surgeon breaking sterile or I observed that the patient's positioning was unsafe yet the attending surgeon insisted on moving forwards with the case. My response was that I would alert the team of the issue, delay the surgery, and correct the issue to ensure patient safety. I followed this up by saying if the surgeon disagreed with holding the surgery I would re-assert that the surgery needed to be put on hold, call the nurse manger or anesthesia provider for backup, and document the incident.

There's a possibility that I misread my interviewer but I thought they didn't seem satisfied with this answer, but they didn't clarify what kind of an answer they were looking for. Is there something I should have said differently? How are these conflicts resolved in real life?
