Default just got testosterone results and I need help understanding

I got a copy of my blood work done Ive had low sex interest and cant seem to add muscle and doctor thinks im just depressed but I think my test is low. I am only 22 but this is what the test says

testosterone,free and total testoterone total 304 ng/dl
ref range 260-1000

% free test = 1.8%
free test = 55.3 pg/ml

this was fasting early in the morning but on my second page with other results It said total testoterone 757 ng/dl ref range (241-827)
this is what confused me why is there another reading on the next page but way higher

but according to the first part it says im LOW NORMAL which for a 22 year old Id think is pretty low. So if this is the case what should I do because my doctor seems to think im "normal" and my test is fine. How can I convince a doctor to give patches or gel to a 22 year old.

The answer is going to trouble a lot of guys.

The Total Testosterone was run at one lab, the Free testosterone was sent out somewhere else. The two labs disagree in their results. I'm sad to say, this happens all too often.
