You need to reach out to the IRS. The staffing shortages created an agency that does not operate efficiently. Now the problem originated in part because of the pandemic then due to lack of IRS agents, the IRS was ill equipped to review and process returns. This was why the 87k agents were needed, to properly staff the agency currently and in the future as agents would be lost soon to retirement. This deficit in staffing has delayed processing in extreme forms. My own father mailed his return with is check in 2020. They promptly cashed the check and he thought that was it. In 2021, he was informed that they did not receive his return and if he didn't send it in by a certain date they would just keep the money and he would still have to send in his return with proper payment!! Insanity. You may receive the additional money when you process your return for 2022, but still reach out for the past years.
