How to enter "Principal" transactions on 1099B where no shares of Gold ETF were sold?

I bought some SPDR Gold ETF in 2024, and I received my 1099B from my broker Fidelity.

 

I did not sell any of my shares in 2024, but I see on 1099B transactions that entries in short-term transactions listed as "principal" rather than "sale". The 1a) description says "0" for quantity so: "SPDR GOLD TR GOLD SHS 0" as imported by Turbotax.

 

Should I just leave it as is as Turbotax imported the 1099B form from Fidelity or are there additional steps I need perform? What does these entries mean since I didn't make a sale, or is it a disposing due to some fund adjustments? I understand Gold (even as a ETF) is treated differently (collectible)? Not sure if these "principal" transactions have anything to do with it.

 

Thank you!
