HSA reward my employer gives filed for the wrong year on W2 Box 12a (Code W)

Hello, I have a High Deductible health plan through my employer. Every year my employer gives a $300 reward into my HSA if I complete a health screening. For TY2022, I did this in late December, but the $300 reward did not post into my HSA account until Jan 5th, 2023.

 

Fast forward to this year - on my W2 form (Box 12a Code W), it shows I contributed $4150, which is $300 over the limit. The $300 reward in my HSA account seems to have been applied to my TY 2023 W2 instead of my TY 2022 W2. Indeed, my TY 2022 W2 is $300 under the limit.

 

How can I get this corrected? Adding to this is that the extension filing date is tomorrow so I'm in a bit of a rush to get this fixed before I file.
