You don’t tell your new employer to delay your start date due to an incomplete background check.

They tell you.

I think you should reach out to your recruiter/ hiring manager and communicate that you are not comfortable joining without background check being complete. Don’t feel bad about it since if they find something in background check, they won’t hesitate to rescind the offer / fire you.
