Background Check Issue

I submitted my background check for my incoming job recently, and still can’t get this one previous summer job verified. It was during covid and I worked for maybe 6 weeks and as a minor. I submitted both the address of where I commuted for work and the headquarters of the company that I worked for. The background check company can’t verify it, so I have to dig into my archives and find an old form proving that I worked there, only to realize that the company address on the form was different than both the ones I submitted. Is this going to end up being an issue for me? Or is it a minor thing and not that big of a deal? Also why on earth do they absolutely need to verify I worked at this place, I was there barely longer than a month? Kind of silly to me.
