1099-NEC missing info error

I worked as a marketer during my probationary period (3months) and received a 1099-NEC.

So, I filled out the 1099-NEC filing from the other income section. However, whenever I completed the forms and review them, it keeps showing me "one of your 1099-NEC forms doesn't include enough info for us to know where to report the income on your return." Then, direct to the self-employed section while I am not self-employed since I worked as a contractor. So, I tried to delete the section for self-employment to proceed but the program shows me the same missing info message.

Is there any way that I can proceed without checking self-employment?

Working as a contractor is the same as being self-employed. It's just two different terms for the same thing.
