Description
**Describe the bug**
when using the plugin: customParseFormat
offsets in the dateTimeString fails on validation when the time zone is different from exist one, meaning:
if I am at GMT+3 all date time strings will fail if the time zone offset is different from +03:00
**Expected behavior**
testParsing("2025-04-20T08:08:50+06:00");
testParsing("2025-04-20T12:08:50+03:00");
testParsing("2025-04-20T12:08:50-05:00");
testParsing("2025-04-20T12:08:50+00:00");
should be valid, but only this one is valid: testParsing("2025-04-20T12:08:50+03:00");
**Information**
- Day.js Version 1.11.13
- OS: Mac
- Browser chrome 135.0.7049.85

Research direction
Start by reproducing the four date-time examples from the issue or linked CodeSandbox with Day.js 1.11.13, then inspect the customParseFormat plugin's offset validation path. Done means offsets +06:00, +03:00, -05:00, and +00:00 are all accepted regardless of the local GMT+3 timezone.
