A simple way to get the standard deduction for California would be to go back to the Federal return and remove enough itemizable deductions to bring the total below the standard deduction for California MFS (for Single or married/Registered Domestic Partner (RDP) filing separately, it is $5,363 for 2023).
Confirm that you didn't indicate anywhere in TurboTax that your spouse itemizes their deductions. If you are married but file taxes separately and your spouse itemizes deductions on their return, then you can't claim the Standard Deduction.
