Your first sentence is correct.

"Haber" is an auxiliary verb for compound tenses, which are built by combining the verb "haber" conjugated and the past participle of the main verb. So "he habido" is never used.

To expand further, the verb "to have" has at least3 common uses in English, but "haber" can translate only 1 of those 3 uses.

1. As an auxiliary verb used to create compound tenses ("perfect" tenses) such as "I have seen it". Spanish "haber" is used the same way.

2. Combined with "to" as "to have to", it functions as an auxiliary verb that specifies obligation: "I have to see it". Often one can say "must" instead of "have to", but one cannot substitute "must" for "had to". Spanish "haber" CANNOT have this meaning: typically one translates this to Spanish using "tener que", "deber" or some other compatible expression.

3. As a main verb with the general meaning of "own, possess, hold". In modern Spanish "haber" CANNOT have this meaning. The most common translation equivalent of this meaning is "tener".

To expand even further, in Spanish tener has two meanings equal to English 1)the have as in to have a pair of shoes 2)to have to

Contrary to English,in Spanish the auxiliary verb to have as in I have seen the Grand Canyon is a completely different verb. That verb is haber.
