Tier 4 Visa Extension with Not Updated Police Registration due to COVID-19

Hello all, I am currently applying for a masters degree for September 2020 after finishing my BSc and receiving my grades tomorrow.

However, I realised I had forgotten to update my police registration with my term time in 17/18 and 18/19 ( I had to resit my second year) and my new passport number. I've tried going to my local police station, however they told me they cannot update my passport number or update old addresses. Sussex police says that the nationality unit can do that however they are not working due to COVID-19.

Does anyone have any experience or advice with this? I have proof of address for that time, and my new passport but I am afraid of my visa being rejected due to this. They say applications will not be affected by this but I'm afraid since my addresses and new passport number are pre-corona days that they'll refuse me for that. I've already contacted my university immigration advice. Thank you for your time.

It is covered in the Home Office's guidance for Tier 4 applications during the pandemic, page 13:
