Form 8962 100/0 allocation question

I am a self-employed individual who had marketplace insurance in 2021.  For the first four months of the year, my non-dependent daughter was on my marketplace policy.  She did not receive her own 1095-A.  On my (already submitted) return, I allocated 100% to me for those four months.  When my daughter submitted her return electronically (using Free File Fillable Forms), she allocated 0% to herself.  But the return was rejected because of an issue with Form 8962.  What is not clear to me is, for our particular circumstance (i.e., a 100/0 allocation), what amounts should be entered in each of the columns for lines 12-15 (which correspond to the months she was on mypolicy) of Form 8962 on her return.  We have tried various combinations of 0s, the full amounts listed on my 1095-A, etc, and the return has been rejected no matter how we do it.  (And the correct info has been entered on the lines above line 11.)

Please clarify if you have called Marketplace to confirm that the 1095-A  you received was correct and that they did not prepare one for your daughter.

Yes, I have.  I'm pretty sure the problem relates to what amounts should be entered in the columns for lines 12-15 of her 8962, and perhaps also as to how, in our circumstance, lines 9 and 10 should be answered, as well as  whether lines 2 through 8 should be completed with her actual information (as opposed to zeros).  Pursuant to the Form 8962 instructions for line 1, we entered 0 on line 1 (tax family size).
