Considering the fact(s) that...
Ex. I am happy considering the facts that I was able to register the courses that I wanted and that those courses are easy to complete.
Is it okay to say "considering the facts that..." instead of "considering the fact that"?
The internet search seems to suggest that even though I am stating multiple facts (multiple that clauses), I am supposed to keep "fact" singular.

No, you don't really have to keep it singular, but try to do so if the multiple facts can reasonably be considered as one concept, since the singular is indeed the usual.
