Once you submit, your non-deductible traditional IRA contribution is confirmed. As mentioned above, Vanguard doesn’t know whether or not this contribution will be deducted on your 1040. That’s between you and the IRS, but it will not be deducted as it is an after-tax contribution, and it will be reported on Form 8606.
