Wrong decision or bad play? Can you find a solution?

Scoring: MP

The bidding, playing precision:
S - W - N - E
2 2(!) X P
3NT P 6NT end

My question is not on the bidding (yes, 6 is better).
As usually in my threads, I wrote 1 down at the end after a club lead. :)
It was a 22 pairs mitchell, 5th round.
Now the problem is that, while I was writing, I saw:
3NT+3 690
3NT+2 660
3NT+3 690
3NT+2 660
Checking the scoresheet, I saw also that N and S hands was exchanged.
Well, looking at the whole hand from this reversed angle (HQ and KS well placed), I thought that 3NT+3 was a congruent result, and I called the director while the opponents insisted that the sheet was wrong. After a rapid check, some other pairs confirmed (with some difficulties...) that they play with the same N and S hands' position, so the result stood. It was not my Club and I was a guest, so I accepted the decision without any further move. :(
Now my question: playing 6NT from North hand, after the leading Q lead from East (common lead of the other 4 tables), is there a possible line of play (maybe including some help from opponents) to arrive to 12 tricks?

obviously so, since 2 pairs made 6, but i only see one way.. duck a spade at t2 and let east lead the Q

You sure declarer doesn't own the spade 8 in hand or the dummy?

If so, on a non-spade lead, maybe leads spade 9-J-A-T (not the worst offense to cover the 9), drives out spade K and runs it as a proven heart double squeeze if a heart isn't returned??

late edit: If declarer (or dummy) has spade 8, maybe leading spade Q to possibly pin J or T is best play..not the 9 as I wrote above.

It's possible that declarer holds spades 8, I didn't pay attention to it, I'm sorry.
Your line is very interesting, though due to the bidding I think that it is better to play for HQ on side and not for the blank J ot T in East.
As you noted, it is necessary also that W doesn't return with a heart.
It's not probable, but possible, :) thanks!
