One key point of distinction:
Heb. 10:12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time,
sat down at the right hand of God,

He is SITTING at the right hand.

As I have already noted, that old rascal Maimonides, Rambam, clearly
understood what the inference was when he rewrote the Shema in his
Jewish Creed. If God is yachid then He clearly cannot be Trinity.
But in such a key verse, yachid is not the inspired word written.

Look at the Zohar where Jewish scholars were not so guarded in their
wordage to counteract Christianity and its Trinitarian doctrine. Vol
3:288.

WHY? He did it deliberately. Don't you know your history. This was
the time of great debate between Judaism and the Catholic Church.
Rambam felt he HAD to exchange the words. And in doing so he evidenced
the fact that echad does lend itself, coupled with the nouns being
plural, as being a precursor to Trinitarianism.

No one is saying that Trinitarianism is taught in the Jewish
scriptures. Rather, after having it revealed by the testimony of
Jesus, we are able to look back and see that it was not absolutely
hidden.

Yachid means "unique," or "only one of a class." It is used of Issa
when YHVH commands Abraham to sacrifice him. It is used in Prob 4:3 in
reference to the mothers only child. In Amos 8:10 it is likewise used
as in Zech 12:10.

So if this word had been used in the Shemaa, it would only be
illustrating the uniqueness of God, that He is the only one in that
class of being. No one is here denying that fact but that is not the
point of the Shema.

Echad is derived from the verb form meaning "
