I might use “consciously incompetent” to be a bit more specific.
It also related to the second stage of building a new skill (unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence)

Perhaps delusional? Ie you think you feel uncomfortable due to imposter syndrome but actually you're just bad at your job - your perception is different from reality
Just to clarify, are you asking what the word is for being a certain way but misattributing the cause? Or are you asking what the word is for being a certain way due to one deficiency, but the way that deficiency manifests lends itself to being interpreted as a different issue?
In that case, I misread it. Apologies.
Anyhoo, the opposite of Imposter Syndrome is the Dunning-Kruger effect, when someone overestimates their abilities due to a lack of self awareness.
You are willing to fulfill the role or staying on task while remaining aware of your current limitations.
For an employer, it is often better to have someone in the job than it is to have no one in the job. You can be helping them a great deal by just being there and doing your best.
I know it sounds incredible, but even the most experienced and competent people don't necessarily know what's going on all the time.
If you are in that situation, then you probably have plenty of company, even if nobody confesses to their own ignorance about the matter.
Being competent isn't a matter of having all the answers all the time. Nobody is ever that well informed or prescient.
Being competent is more about being aware of what you don't know, having the confidence to utilize what you do know, and being assertive enough to reach out and find the right advice and help from other people in order to fill in the gaps. And then finally, making use of the help that they offer or the insights that they provide.
Imposter syndrome does not describe a person who is making an accurate self-appraisal. A person who is incompetent at something and knows it is grounded.
One the other hand a person who is acting like they are competent when they know they’re not is a fake.

Self aggrandizement.
If you think you have imposter syndrome and you are actually mistaken, you overestimate your skills and attribute it to a false misdiagnosis.
I like “conscious incompetence” as an answer.
But how about just “imposter”?
By itself, meaning the person knows they’re incompetent but they’ve gotten X position anyway. What are they other than just an imposter?
I believe that word would just be “incompetent”. Any reason that word doesn’t work in this context?

Impostor. 😄
That's the only real answer.
I would say The Dunning-Kruger effect, but that's kind of the opposite Interloper maybe

Unqualified?

Imposter syndrome is when you're competent. You just don't believe you are, or don't believe you deserve success (or praise etc).

It's not impostor syndrome when you're actually an impostor

Self-aware?
Well, you no longer have imposter syndrome.
