Capital Losses and form 982 reduction of attributes. HELP PLEASE

I have filled out form 982 due to insolvency for a 1099C I received due to a personal debt that I settled on. I have capital losses for the year, I am trying to enter them into the reduction of attributes section on form 982 on line 9, but when I enter them in, the overall capital losses on the 1040 and Sched D is not reducing. The amount should be reduced, I just can't figure out how to get it to reduce them overall
