The comma between the word " really " is called parentical. It is added to the sentence as a sort of bonus. Your sentence is correct.

Would I'm a bit misunderstood really, but I like it make more sense instead of I'm a bit misunderstood, really, but I like it.? Thanks!

Welkins meant to write "parenthetical." Such words are usually set off by commas. In the word order of your sentence, 'really' functions as parenthetical. In the following sentence, it does not, and would be punctuated accordingly: I'm really a bit misunderstood, but I like it. This version, though grammatically correct, doesn't have quite the same delivery.
