"I feel I deserve to have the past year compensated"
Sounds like you made a user error when you answered questions in My Info about the child.
If you made a mistake on your 2022 tax return and did not claim your child correctly, you can amend the 2022 return to claim your child. You have to read all of the screens carefully. Did you say in My Info that you have some sort of "agreement" with the other parent in regard to claiming the child? If you answered yes to that question--that is what messed you up. When all of you live together as a family, only one of you can claim the child on a tax return.

And....you say your GF has not worked since 2021. If you all lived together for all of 2022, and GF had less than $4700 of income---not counting any Social Security--- you might be able to claim her as a 2022 (and 2023) dependent too---as a "qualified relative" for the $500 credit for other dependents.
