Worried about a job offer being rescinded after background check came back. Any HR reps that can give some input?

I was recently offered a job and had to do a pass background check to officially be given the job. This is not a problem, I’ve done many background checks in the past, I am not hiding anything. Yesterday, I received a copy of the background check and several flags came up. First, according to the background check, I did not graduate. However, I did graduate a couple months ago. Second, I mistakenly put that I worked at a previous employer for a few years longer than it actually was. The report came back that I stated I was there from 2019-2022. However I was not there that long. During 2022 I was working at my school while I was working on my degree. This job I had during 2022 checks out fine.

I was recently offered a job and had to do a pass background check to officially be given the job. This is not a problem, I’ve done many background checks in the past, I am not hiding anything.

Yesterday, I received a copy of the background check and several flags came up.

First, according to the background check, I did not graduate. However, I did graduate a couple months ago.

Second, I mistakenly put that I worked at a previous employer for a few years longer than it actually was. The report came back that I stated I was there from 2019-2022. However I was not there that long. During 2022 I was working at my school while I was working on my degree. This job I had during 2022 checks out fine.

Another flag I noticed on the background check is that none of the supervisors I used as verification on the background check were listed on the actual form. Making it seem like I left this section blank, but I did not leave it blank.

I would appreciate some advice on what should I do to clear this up. This is an entry level position and I have no criminal record.
