Why Are Checkboxes Breaking My FILTER?

$

I am filtering data from another sheet. The filtered range is chosen based on a dropdown. The filtered data is mostly true/false values. I want to display these data points as checkboxes. When I highlight the filtered range containing the true/false values, and Insert > Checkboxes, the filter formula stops pulling the data in and give me the error #REF! "The array was not expanded because it would overwrite data in cell ___"

I'm suspecting that it might have to do with the fact that the size of the filtered range changes when I change the value in the dropdown, but I'm not sure.

See an example of this problem here.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MxMwqi6_yZwKnyANoXRMyYWjp-vPEH7wQesAxSUb1M0

I've tried deleting the checkbox at the specific cell mentioned in the error, but then it just changes to another one. The original data is also using checkboxes.
