I just received my 3 month labs and the only thing that concerns me is my vitamin D2, which was

What's important, IMO, is the Total vitamin D level, not the D2 or D3.  What was your level?

I don't know why it cut off the rest of my post!  I originally wrote that my D2 was less than 4 and my D3 was 31.

Hmm.  It's still cutting it off.

I think it's the symbol for less than.  It cut off after that each time.  So I wrote it out LOL.  But on the lab results it has the less than symbol and 4.

So the total is 35.  It's the total that is important, as I understand it.  But 35 is still low for vitamin D, according to many sources.  What's the reference range on your lab report?

It's weird because it gave a reference range for almost everything except vitamin D, so that's why I was a bit confused.

OK. Does it list the results as nmol/L or ng/mL?

Your level is OK, then.  Within the "healthy" range according to the Linus Pauling Institute.  Again, it's the Total vitamin D level that needs to be in range.  There is no way that I know of to increase just D2 or just D3.  The range on your lab report should be given for the Total D level, not a range for D2 and another for D3.
