Do I send a 1040x '21 return now that the dependent identity theft has been solved? The IRS also removed an additional dependent when they recalculated that year.

5 dependents that year. The IRS recalculated my return because a dependent was already used in the system. They removed that dependent due to the identity theft, but they also removed an additional dependent for no reason. She was an infant born that tax year. Her identity was not used by someone else, they cleared that last week. All 5 dependents were listed correctly on the 1040. I responded to their recalculation letter within the timeframe allowed, but have not heard back and have not received the adjusted refund to account for them removing her. In order to correct the error they made and receive the refund due for both dependents, do I need to file 1040x?
