<p>You have two different peaks at different positions with different annotations. This makes complete sense, you're just misreading it.</p>

"you're just misreading it." this part I got it the gene got two different binding sites. So if i have to find if the accessibility correlates to the expression shall i consider both of them such as taking the mean ?

Does it make biological sense to average them? No, it does not. Which is biologically more likely to have an effect? The answer to that will tell you what to do.

I have done the differential accessibility analysis then annotated the region with chipseeker.
my output for one of the many region and question regarding this

You have two different peaks at different positions with different annotations. This makes complete sense, you're just misreading it.
