After completing the HSA deductions section, TurboTax is stating there's an excess contribution to my 2024 HSA. This is not correct; should this section just be skipped?

2024 total HSA contributions were $6,500 (entered under W2 section box 12). After entering this same amount in the HSA deductions section, TurboTax is now advising an excess contribution of $4,700. Should I just skip this HSA section under Deductions/Credits?

Yes. HSA contributions made by you and your employer are in box 12 of your W-2 with the code W, don't enter that amount again in the HSA section. Delete any entry made in that section.
