Retirement tax questions

"what can i do?"

 

Your only option is to pay the tax.  The taxable rollover of the pre-tax funds from the traditional 401(k) account to the Roth IRA is not permitted to be undone or treated as a rollover to some other account.  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated that possibility.
