Yes, wait until the original state return has been processed before amending it. The amended state return needs to be based on the amended federal return since both involve the same issue.
This California FTB webpage indicates that individual amended returns are currently taking about 5 months to process.
See this FTB webpage for options to contact the agency about the status of your amended return.
See this help article for more information about filing a California amended return.
