How to do EFA correctly using R studio?

I am currently a bit lost because of my Confirmatory Factor Analysis results. I compared a 2-factor solution (warmth and competence scales) with a 3-factor-solution (competence, sociability and morality scales), in order to decide which scales to use for my main analysis.
One model (3-factor-solution) showed a slightly better fit than the other one and the Cronbachs alpha indicated internal consistency, our CFAs showed however that both models had an almost not acceptable fit. Therefore I am trying to run an EFA but my code apparently doesn’t work. I also want to allow for correlation between items.
