Any ideas of how to work the software so I can get the money that I should be eligible for?
Sorry, but you are not eligible for any additional money. In fact, you are eligible for a total of $2,800 and you got $4,200, so you are ahead of the game. The Recovery Rebate Credit that you are eligible for is based on your 2021 tax return. The advance payment that you got was a guess at what your 2021 tax return would show. In your case the guess was high. But you don't have to pay back the extra payment that you got.
What you did with the extra payment was your choice. You were not under any obligation to give it to anyone else. As I said above, the Recovery Rebate Credit is based on your 2021 tax return. The parent who claims the children on their 2021 tax return will get a Recovery Rebate Credit of $1,400 for each child on that tax return.
