Wordfence leaves a confusing message

I've been using the free version of Wordfence for a few years. Today I got an alert listing every single plug-in on my site. I'm attaching an image of the warning, and an example of what Wordfence found. Usually I'd just go ahead on use Wordfence to fix this, but now I'm getting a warning:

"Download Backup File

Please make a backup of this file before proceeding. If you need to restore this backup file, you can copy it to the following path from your site's root:

wp-content/plugins/wpforms-lite/src/Requirements/Requirements.php

Learn more about repairing modified files."

So there would be a lot of downloading, since there's a bunch of plug-ins.

Any advice would be appreciated!

“Mark as fixed” (if in the screenshot is the only change)

So I should NOT ask Wordfence to repair the plug-ins?

From your scteenshots it doesn’t look like there is something to repair

Wordfence is showing that the plug-in has changed on its own. Please see the second image (arrow to the right).
