Ucas Application Oxford wrong course start date

I submitted my ucas application in the morning of 15th of October,2024. I had oxford as one of my choosen unis. I applied to study mathematics and philosophy there. Now it is showing that I entered the course start date wrong and the start date has been updated since I entered it in the site. But I am not able to find any info as such. And now I think I can't even change it. Will it have any impact on my applied?

Why don’t you give UCAS a call rather than worrying about it? You normally have 14 days (from the day you submitted) to make changes anyway so don’t stress over it!

So yesterday and today was weekends so ucas wont pick up my call. I am getting really nervous now. Even in my pdf format of my application it says like that. If it was the case why didn't they inform me before. Like if it was updated before I submitted I should not have been able to submit. I don't know what to do. What if oxford does not acknowledge my application?!?!?!?!? Can anyone help out here!!! Please!!! Urgent!! I just need to know if it would affect my application at any end!!!

No no I did not select the wrong start date..I entered 05 October 2025 from the drop down menu..and now it says that the date has been updated and I should delete the previous one and enter the proper one but I can't even fid the updated date on any of oxford's web pages.

Will it harm my application?!?!?!?!?!?
