        Check the page source and CTRL+F and search "canonical"

        If the Yoast fixed it then I wouldn't worry about it.  Be worried if you find more than 1 canonical element.

        Is the "Errors" actually listed under

        Crawl Errors Found

        or

        Crawl Notices Found

        ???

        If you implemented the plugin and changes after your last crawl, I would wait until SEOMoz re crawls your site and makes a fresh report. If you click the number of errors, warnings or notices found with canonical, it will bring you to a page where it finds it. if you hover over the "Tag value" it will give you the true canonical path!

        It could also be a theme problem! You may have to edit your page / post templates and any others that are effected.

        Hope this helps!
