So I have a eshopps 1000, I have one line running to my filter socks and the other line connected to my return pump. After doing some more research I see that I have failed miserably. Is there anyway I can make this work?

PS. The pvc is already glued
 
First off: Welcome to R2R!
Secondly: Don't beat yourself up too much. Trial and error is part of the hobby.
Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to make it work. If you can post some pictures, I'm sure our plumbing experts can help make the re-routing as painless as possible. Just a minor setback!
 
I will assume the problem is the line connecting the return pump to the overflow. Without pictures it makes it a little tricky to give accurate advice but what I would do is go down about 1-2 feet from the overflow and cut the pipe there. Do the same for the pipe coming from the return pump. Purchase 2 unions and attach one to the line from the overflow and the other union to the line from the return pump. You can now rework how you want you plumbing to be. Added plus is having unions makes it a lot easier to disassemble if you ever need to do that.
 
Thank you all for your Input!! I plan to do a couple small cuts and then I should be good from there
