Okay so I **bleep** up when linking my bank account the first time yesterday. I added three extra numbers at the end of my account number and the money transfer went through. When I was checking it out today I seen the account had to be confirmed so I did that and when it took me back to the home page it showed up as a different bank while the one I transfered the money to is still waiting to be confirmed. I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out right now

You may be lucky and because the wrong bank account is not confirmed and may not be linked to another paypal account (and not have the same name match), it may well bounce back to your paypal account balance.
May take about a week though and you may be charged a small fee for the failed transfer.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

I realized now I added the check number by mistake so hopefully it bounces back, I'm fine with the fee as long as it comes back
