I Believe My 4th Amendment Right Is Being Violated.

Location: Pennsylvania

Hello everyone. So like the title says, I believe my 4th amendment right is being violated. On January 29th, I received a search warrant for my cell phone because I was falsely accused of having child porn on my phone. I willingly complied so they can do their investigation because I know for sure that I possess nothing of that nature on my device. However upon further review of the warrant, it said the police were searching for an Apple iPhone in my possession when I own a Samsung Galaxy s24 plus. I don't know if this matters or not, but my date of birth is also wrong. Both are literally right on the front page of the warrant and I highlighted all things that don't match up. I believe under the fourth amendment, it says that search warrants have to specifically describe the property looking to be seized and my warrant does not. I even told the police what kind of phone I had when I was served the warrant yet they still took my phone even though the device listed on the warrant does not accurately describe what's in my possession. What can I do to fight this? I already filed a civil rights complaint with the attorney office
