alright, then just that:

double-check that it does not apply to your setup.

yeah, that can be dropped – I often tend to go for the comma if I'm in
doubt, in a hurry, or the like... ^^

I'd not suggest the tool being incorrect, rather that one should ensure that
the warning does not apply to one's setup.

nit: the "to" in "to detect" is superfluous, "will help you detect"
flows much nicer

also, and this is a matter of personal style "misconfigurations" sounds
better to me here because you stay in the plural, but that's really
minor.

i know this is pre-existing, but since you are touching this anyway: the
comma here is odd, if this was supposed to be an oxford comma (or serial
comma), please be aware that these only apply in lists of three or more
items. here we have two lists of two items, so the oxford comma does not
apply.

again a matter of personal taste, but "check this carefully" sounds a
bit clumsy to me. maybe "double-check that the tool is incorrect before
proceeding".
