The problem is that your HSA contribution reduced your federal income, so it must be added back to CA income to match the state's requirement that HSA contributions are not deductible.
If you look at your CA return, you will see that the federal income and deductions (including those on the second half of Schedule 1 (1040)) are carried over to California. This means that your personal HSA contribution which was deductible on the federal return (look at line 12 on Schedule 1 (1040) needs to be accounted for on your CA return to make sure that it is not deductible in CA.
So the software is working as it should.
