If status points are posted late and the 12 months points dropoff on the exact day does the system (or can it be done manually fixed by the service team) the upgrade to platinum?
I can just make platinum based on the exact flight dates but if they are posted to the account a day or two late the 12 month drop off will cause a problem
The flights are virgin code share on a delta plane (which I read as being virgin qualifying sectors)

You should be fine. I recently had a similar experience, requalifying with flights which were either in or out of the membership year depending on what timezone you were in:

This caused the website to say "We are currently assessing your activity for the membership year" (while still displaying my old status) for a couple of weeks but eventually I came through requalified with no problems.
Someone in the above thread suggested there was a few days' wiggle room anyway.
Anyway if the actual dates of your flights fall within the correct period then there should be no issue whatsoever.

You will be fine. If on the 1st of the month the points haven't credited there is no issue; you will maintain your current status for 1 month anyway. When the points credit then it will allow for your status to renew for the next year
