Is it possible to exclude a GameObject by his tag for a Physics2D.OverlapPoint test ?,

hi, i wonder if it's possible to exclude a GameObject and by extension all the GameObjects with the same tag when i use Physics2D.OverlapPoint with a specific Layer

ex:

 void ChechCollider()
 {
     listObjectA = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("objectA");
     LayerMask collisionObjectGroups = (1 << 14);
     Vector2 objectAPos;
     Collider2D collisionWithObjects;
     foreach (GameObject objecta in listObjectA)
     {
         objectAPos = objecta.GetComponent<ObjectA>().GetPosition;
         collisionWithObjects = Physics2D.OverlapPoint(objectAPos, collisionObjectGroups);
         if(collisionObjectGroups.tag != "objectAClone")
         {
             //do something
         }
     }
 }

if i have multiple different GameObjects in the layer 14, including objectAClone, how can i exclude objectAClone from the test ?

If i understand the doc well, Physics2D.OverlapPoint stop at the first overlapping. So when i make my test, if the first overlapping is with a objectAClone, it stop checking. Even if objectA position overlap with others GameObjects in the layer 14.

But with the code i made, it doesn't work.

Does anyone have an idea ?

Thanks for your time and sorry if i made mistakes in my question, its the first time for me.
