Filed as a dependent by mistake! (Stimulus Check?)

So.. hear me out.

This was my first time filing my taxes ever, I just started my first job ever last year. I do live at my parents house but I earn more than 10k a year. Obviously my mom didn't claim me as a dependent because I make my own money now.

 

My question is, what information is the treasury using to determine who gets a stimulus check? My mom did not claim me as a dependent, I selected the dependent check box but will whoever is working on those stimulus checks notice that nobody actually claimed me as a dependent even though I clicked on the box?

Thanks!
