Hmm that would require a custom filter at this point, there is a filter called wpseo_canonical that you can use to do that.

Thanks for the response. How do I get the post url that the attachment is assigned to outside the loop since I will need to do this before the loop.

Alright, I got it to work but it is outputting the canonical <link > tag twice.
This is the code I used I just need to know what extra step(s) I need to take to keep it from duplicating
function attachment_wpseo_canonical ($can) {
global $wp_query;
$attachment_page_id = $wp_query->post->ID;
$parent_post = get_post($attachment_page_id);
$parent_post_id = $parent_post->post_parent;
$parent_post_permalink = get_permalink($parent_post_id);
echo "<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"$parent_post_permalink\" />";
}
add_filter('wpseo_canonical','attachment_wpseo_canonical');
you need to do return instead of echo
oh and btw the code is wrong too, as it would now do this on all pages. It should be:
function wpseo_attachment_canonical_parent( $canonical ) {
if ( is_attachment() ) {
global $post;
$attachment = get_post( $post->ID );
$parent_post_id = $attachment->post_parent;
$canonical = get_permalink( $parent_post_id );
}
return $canonical;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', 'wpseo_attachment_canonical_parent' );
