please help me: STep1 application q

I am doing Step1 application to ECFMG. They are very picky in their application instruction, about matching names “exactly” in the diploma and the ID. I am almost scared to call them to verify the following question.

My name is listed as "ZHANG (all capitalized to indicate that this is last name) Ming (only M is capitalized)", in English version of my medical diploma.

My green card says "Zhang, Ming" (with a comma). Zhang is my family name/ last name.

Do you think I should worry about this? I do not know if ECFMG understand Chinese name has a reverse sequence. Or do you think they understand that letters all capitalized means that this is my last name? I am not sure this is international practice, actually.

Thanks a lot. I know this is a very stupid thing to be nervous about. But in their application instruction they say they will reject application if names don’t match.

Call them. Ask them. Make sure you get the name of the person giving you the information.
Repeat sequence if still worried.
You can't be the first person or the only person with this problem.
Good Luck
