Background check help!?

I pulled up my resume after signing my offer letter and realized I made a mistake in the education section while following a template. It currently says “Bachelor Degree” when it should say “Pursuing Bachelor Degree.” I also didn’t include any school information, dates, or years attended.

When I completed the background check information, it only asked for my Social Security number, addresses from the last 7 years, and previous employers, so I’m unsure whether education is even being verified. My concern is that the wording on my resume could come across as misleading, even though that wasn’t my intention. I am currently enrolled in school, but I have not completed the degree yet, and I’m worried it could affect my offer.
