An unmatched entry means the challan details in the TDS statement did not match the bank's record of payment. The deductor must correct the challan particulars on TRACES. Until then, CPC may not allow the credit.

Share a screenshot of your Form 26AS showing the unmatched status. Once fixed, the status changes to final and credit flows to your return processing.
