Because the date created, date modified and date accessed is the same as another file in your results.
Please try sorting by date created to confirm.
I think you are expecting the name and size to be included when searching for duplicates.
However, you have only specified dc;dm;da in your dupe: search.
Well thats the idea, I dont want to search by the name because the date and time of that one file is off by 1 hour so i want it to be excluded but because it shares the date and time with another file, it shows up. The only way I can think around this is if there is a conditional format, similar to how excel does.
Notes:
I am going to assume you have disabled date accessed on your system.
Loading the icon or thumbnail would likely cause the date accessed to change.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, the date accessed dupes did show up correctly
I do not recommend using dates to reliably find duplicated files.
Although, it can be useful to give an instant guide to possibly duplicated files.
In which case, using just one date should be enough, please try the following search:
dupe:size;dm
-or-
dupe:size;name;dm
I've literally tried tens of combinations and date modified or size or filename length and played around with almost properties. I'm not sure how excel is finding better duplicates than everything
Here is a screenshot for excel, although, mind you still some other formatting needs to be done on excel list to further illustrate better dupe finding.

As you can see in the screenshot, unhighlighted cells in column G are the ones that everything should've excluded. Column A is filename, B is parent path, C is size, D, E, F are date cr, date md, date ac respectively and column G is =TEXTJOIN("||",TRUE,C1:F1) joining together values from column C to F bonded by two | characters (shift+backwards slash) as the helper column
