I returned to India from US today and at the New Delhi airport, the immigration officer stamped my arrival date on my expired Schengen visa instead of my current F1 US visa. The problem is that I noticed this issue after coming to Vadodara which is a 1.5 hour flight away from New Delhi.

Will this be a problem for me when I try to return to the US for my studies? If yes, what should I do to fix this problem?
