keep getting a warning about claiming CWB but am not elegible

my partner and i are trying to file our taxes, and we keeping getting a warning that we are claiming CWB but are not eligible. 

 

Name: You are claiming Canada Workers Benefit (CWB). However, your situation makes you ineligible for CWB. You need to review this claim.

 

Click Applies to me to fix the warning.

 

Click Ignore and you will not see the warning again.
 
when we click applies to me, it takes us to a page that looks like thisScreenshot 2025-05-02 130610.png
there's no option to not claim CWB, if we click the 'no' for checking if we qualify it just gets rid of question about being a diplomat or whatever, and if we click 'yes' for that question nothing changes.
 
whats the deal??
