Personal Taxes

My dependent was already claimed

For the 2020 tax year my then girlfriend claimed my child before I could making my efiled return come back as rejected and leaving me stuck with the status of single rather than head of household. I still haven't filed the return because I don't know which status I can/should claim and I think I would owe money due to my income for that year and lack of any dependents. If my child's mother had already claimed our child and head of household status but we lived together for that year and we both paid for the expenses of our child, what status am I able to file as and how do I go about filing for that year without my taxes being rejected and without owing a lot of money? My income for that year was close to $48,000 and I went with the standard deduction.
