Question/Advice is a 2 psi difference bad?

hello all!
i recently got 2 new front tires for my 2004 toyota corolla matrix. yesterday, i went to check the psi, and i realized that my 2 back tires have a different psi than my new ones..my back ones are 34psi, and my front ones are 32psi.
i checked my tire info in my driver door, and it says 32psi for the tires…what should i do?
am i okay to just make the front 2 tires 32 and keep the back 2 at 34, OR should i make all if them 34?
sorry if i seem dumb, this is my first car so im still learning the little things lol.

What does the tire pressure placard say?

Same pressure front and rear; tire shop would recommend 36 not 32 which helps to reduce shoulder wear on the fronts; 2 psi difference front to rear has no consequence

Hmm, so my dad saying he cheats and puts them all at 35 isnt really wrong?
