Can't delete 1095-A form - stuck in loop

One my original filing I forgot to check the box that someone else claimed me as a dependent this year. I got a message saying that my form was rejected and so I went back in and fixed that issue. Now it is telling me I need to fill in a Recipient SSN on a 1095-A form (see picture). However, every time I enter an SSN it still says there is an issue and asks me to enter it again.

I never received a 1095-A form, and because someone else is claiming me as a dependent I should not be the one submitting it anyway (as far as I understand). It seems like there is a "ghost" 1095-A form still hidden in my tax return that I can't get rid of. I used the "Delete a Form" tool to delete the 1095-A, but this issue remains. When I got back to my federal tax deductions tab, it gives me the option to "Edit/Revisit" the 1095-A. I click on it, make sure to say "No, I do not need to report an 1095-A" and "yes" to the acknowledgement. I've done this several times, closed the browser, and tried adding a new 1095-A and deleting it, but have gotten nowhere.
