I’m having issues knowing what type of refrigerant is in my car. The hood doesn’t have the type and I don’t know if both R134a and 1234yf are mixed in it. I put or at least tried to put R134a but the fitting didn't fit so I think the right Freon is 1234yf. What do I do?

It like this is when the cars were being changed over from 134a to 1234yf so if the 134a fitting do not work your car has the 1234 yf.

Refrigerant charge volume (for HFC-134a (R134a)) 580 to 640 g (20.5 to 22.5 oz)
Refrigerant charge volume (for HFO-1234yf (R1234yf)) 580 to 640 g (20.5 to 22.5 oz)

Here is how to charge the system, here is a recharge kit from Amazon for $99.00:
