The problem was fixed yesterday. vs The problem has been fixed yesterday.

The correct phrase here is "The problem was fixed yesterday." The use of the past simple tense ('was fixed') is appropriate when referring to an action that occurred at a specific point in the past, such as yesterday. The phrase "the problem has been fixed yesterday" is incorrect as the present perfect tense ('has been fixed') shouldn't be used with a specific time reference like "yesterday."
