My mom claimed me as a earned income credit dependent however did not claim me as a dependent. How can I fix this error

You can not get Earned Income Credit for someone unless they are a dependent on your return. If she got the credit, you were claimed. Please see these links for more information:
Most of the time, this rejection occurs when you try to claim an exemption for yourself after somebody else, usually a parent, has already claimed you as a dependent.
Less commonly, you can get rejected with IND-516-01 if you entered your Social Security number incorrectly or if somebody filed a fraudulent return using your Social Security number for their fake dependent.
so your mom did claim you despite what you posted.
