The field names in backend and UI differ. The issue is actually related to a field with a deviating name in the file. For the given example, it may relate to the State field. As you can see, the State field is not filled as required. The leading zero is missing. It might have been removed when the file was opened in Excel before importing it.

Check the import file for fields where the leading zero is missing, and correct the same. For the given example, add the leading zero to the State field.
