The sort of AI technoogy necessary to turn pictures of music into actual music is still pretty primitive, and it's completely normal that it won't go all that well. Usually it's faster to simply re-enter the music yourself.

so you're saying types everything from scratch again ??? is there another score software that can scan pdf files ???

There's a lot of such software out there, but it's all still pretty primitive AI, as I said. Feel free to do a web search for music scanning software, and then you can see what's in your budget. It still won't be perfect, but maybe if you try enough other programs, you might find one that does enough better to have been worth the effort/cost.
But, what do you mean about needing to do type it in "again"? If you did it once, why not simply open that file directly?

I mean do I have to do it from scratch since it won't import properly in musescore?

It' will almost certainly be far faster, easier, and cheaper than buying a program that gets you half way there but then requires much more work and expertise on your part to fix the errors. Entering music directly is much easier than finding and fixing the many errors that are generally introduced by scanning software. Really expert users of MuseScore might be able to find and fix those errors almost as fast as they can enter music directly, but for most people, entering themselves is much simpler.

The import works except for the pedal and octave and tempo markings. And for some reason the first left hand half note. All things you can fix.

Even with professional programs, manual work is usually required after the conversion.
While musescore.com uses an older version of free Audiveris , I use a locally installed new Audiveris.
https://github.com/Audiveris/audiveris/releases
This requires some training but gives better results.

Try this app, it’s the best one I’ve found,
Take a picture of sheet music, scan it, and hear it play with this app for iOS and Android: https://sheetmusicscanner.com
you can output as XML and load into MuseScore
