Protective Short Selling Vs Boxed Positions


I own 330 shares and a few calls on PLTR, I was looking to hedge my position by shorting 30-40 shares (margin shorting) but my account says I am not allowed to create a boxed position. So does that mean I can only naked short a stock? Is there a way around this? Is selling the shares I have the only way to short it? I am just looking for downside protection for my position other than puts. Thanks!
