What should I do now..trying online for appointment but no luck..shall i take my chances or not***

When you say initial entry stamp, do you mean the date your first entered the UK, or the date your HSMP was valid from?

The 28 days are in relation to the start date of the HSMP, not the date you first entered the country, provided you didn't delay travel for more than 3 months.

hold on, what was the HSMP visa issue date? when you entered the country is irrelevant (as long as you haven't taken more than 3 months). Recalculate from the visa issue dated.
