I think you are mistaken based on the citations I just provided. (Which I added to, perhaps while you were posting your reply.)

Market-makers apparently want to close naked short positions quickly, and usually do so in sub-second time, but they are not required to close quickly or even in the same day, and when there is a scarcity of shares available, they may not be able to. They may be forced to hold some naked positions open overnight, in which case they would contribute to the twice-monthly short report, if they were open during a reporting deadline. That was the basis of the hypothesis I presented here: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=164599831
