Python selenium - clicking checkbox that also has a dropdown text

I wish to mark a checkbox, but the problem is that that text near the checkbox also incorporates a collapse-link, so whenever I try and click it, only the drop-down text is shown so the checkbox isn't being marked. I've tried clicking the checkbox using

driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[contains(text(), 'example_text_positiond_next_to_checkbox')]").click()

but this, as mentioned, only clicks the text, which then proceeds to display the collapsed text

the HTML snippet is (and I hope I haven't missed any important part)

<label class="custom-control-label" 
for="customCheck1"><a class="collapse-link collapsed"
data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseInfo" role="button" aria-expanded="false" 
aria-controls="collapseExample">example_text_positiond_next_to_checkbox<span 
class="arrow"></span></a></label>

I've thought of somehow clicking some margin to the left of the text, but not quite sure how to do so. any suggestions are welcomed!

that's the box: enter image description here

This can be done with css selector, as there is no direct way to inspect that checkbox in DOM.

driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"input#customCheck1.custom-control-input").click()

try below css.

input#customCheck1.custom-control-input

driver.get("https://corona.health.gov.il/en/green-pass/")

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('[for="customCheck1"]').click()
input()

you can use any attribute to find element the above locator with attribute 'for' will work. You can use xpath or css

XPATH equalent:

//*[@for="customCheck1"]
