Base recalibration

I run GATK4.3 for base recalibration and I got the following result. I am not sure whether my output is right or wrong. Any help is appreciated.

The warning messages are

WARN Attempting to retrieve a sequence dictionary from the associated index file
WARN  IntelInflater - Zero Bytes Written : 0
WARN  IndexUtils - Feature file

The first and last few lines and the last part of the result are:

Dear all, My be if it is helpful when I sorted dbSNP (VCF file) using picard (https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360035532232-Errors-about-contigs-in-BAM-or-VCF-files-not-being-properly-ordered-or-sorted) the problem I posted here was fixed.

Thanks!
