rejected missing Identity protection pin

What is the best way to resubmit Federal and State forms for 2020 after it was rejected due to a missing indentity protection pin.  When I orginally filled out the forms on Turbotax, I was never asked to provide this #.  I finally just received my pin number from the IRS after chasing them. 

Where should this be added and can I e-file again?

Did I understand correctly that the pin can be set independently?

@bentriviani once you requested the PIN from the IRS, they will create the PIN each year. You can't choose your own sequence.
