Unfortunately many checkers assume that because there's a <script>
element in the source that there has to be a <noscript> element, this
is completely at variance to reality, indeed noscript is more likely
an indication of in-accessibility, as it means the author hasn't
considered that their script might fail.

I expect this is the problem the OP is having, and it should be a
reason to pick another accessibility tool.

Cheers,
