You should enter exactly what you received. You're not doing anything wrong. The "Recover Rebate Credit" (or stimulus) is based on 2020 tax returns. It was paid out based upon 2019 (or 2018 in some cases) tax information. You are entitled to credits for three dependents, as that is what you have on your 2020 return. On the flip side, your ex-wife was paid more than her 2020 tax return entitles her to. But the way the stimulus works is, if you got more than you should, you get to keep it.
So claim three dependents.
