Mostly this type of errors was done in past few years before when Aadhar seeded details are not mandatory. For example an employee given his details to employee Pan etc. and his UAn generated after that he left the job and join another company but did not given his past UAN number to the current employer. Current employer also registers him into EPFO portal and generate an new UAN number.

Once you update it then follow the process of one member one epf account and transfer old pf account details into new one.
