Being claimed as dependent with HSA contributions, Form 8889T Line 3A12 coming up as error.

I was a student the first half of 2023 but started working in the latter half. My parent is claiming me as a dependent but my employer made contributions to an HSA for me. I have declared those contributions as excess and will pay the 6% tax for not withdrawing by the April 2024 deadline.  I keep getting an error for Form 8889 T stating that I can not check self for line 3A12 because I am being claimed as an independent.  It will not allow me to move forward in filing electronically.
