My question is regarding to the re-entry 

Currently I am out of Thailand and my re-entry date stamp is on 26 September 2022 Due to some emergency I can’t return on 26 is there any problem from immigration if I return after 26? 

Thank you in advance ￼

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you do not return to Thailand by your re-entry date of September 26, 2022, your current visa or extension of stay will become invalid. There is no flexibility with re-entry permits; missing the date means you may lose your right to stay and work in Thailand. It's advisable to consult your employer if you hold a work visa, and consider applying for a new visa, such as an ED visa, from your home country.

If your school provide the documents it will be cheaper for you to apply for ED Visa in your country. When the actually one will be canceled because you can't come back on time with re-entry permit. It is always better to apply for a multi entry ED Visa.

Whatever visa/extension of stay you're currently on will become invalid if you don't return by the 26th. If you're on an extension of stay based on employment then you need to speak to your employer as your right to work in Thailand will be revoked if you don't return by that date.

it expires when your re-entry permit expires as you must've had a single entry visa. Therefore the re-entry permit allowed you to leave whilst keeping your student visa valid. Failure to return by the expiry date on your re-entry permit will automatically result in your student visa being cancelled.

Check with your school before you re-enter to see if you can apply inside Thailand for a new visa. If it can, just come back in on visa exempt

If you can’t return before that date unfortunately that’s it. There is no leeway on a re entry permit
