How do I change the originally filed refund amount on an amended return

After filing my 2020 taxes I received a corrected W2 requiring me to amend my return.  I waited until the refund from my original return was deposited before amending.  The amount of the refund on my original return was $2867 but the IRS deposited only $1608 in refund.  I have not received the notice explaining the difference.  But the question is how do I change the original refund amount on the amended return?  This amount being incorrect results in the amount owed on the amended return to be too high.

You can change it directly on  the form.  Switch to Forms mode.

Duh!!!  Yes you can, I see that now.  When I looked before I did not look above the line on the form.  Thanks for answering.
