What do you mean exactly that your name is misspelled in the “account” but not in the “Application”?

In the Personal Information section is your name correct? That’s the important spot. You should be able to correct it if it is wrong there.

The common app prints your first and last name on all the forms - teacher rec forms, counselor school forms, etc. If your first or last name is wrong in the common app records and the pre-printed forms are therefore wrong, that could be a problem.
