Help needed with resubmitting rejected amended return due to invalid IP PIN

E-filed 1040X for 2024. Got rejected for invalid IP PIN.

 

Got below message in an email from TurboTax:

------
What happened: IND-181-01 - The Primary Taxpayer did not enter a valid Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN). Please visit www.irs.gov/getanippin for further information and resubmit your return with the correct number.

To update your return : Once you've opened your return in TurboTax, the details about what needs updating will be displayed. From there we can walk you through making the updates you need and help you e-file your return. If it isn't possible to e-file your updated return, we'll make sure you have everything you need to print and file your tax return by mail.
-------- 

 

I got the PIN from my IRS account. 

When I open my return, there are no details about what needs updating nor guidance to help e-file my amended return. Appreciate the guidance?

Attaching the screenshot of E-file status. Clicking on "Review again" doesn't take me anywhere.

Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.

Entered the PIN.

However, Turbotax desktop not showing an option to re e-file. It takes me to the screenshot I attached and clicking on Review doesn't take me anywhere.

Instead of using the review link, what happens if you go directly to the FILE tab to see if it will let you resubmit the efile of the amended return?
