You WAIT. You have probably confused the IRS by amending not once but twice without waiting for the original return to be fully processed. Do not do anything at this time to confuse them more.
Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:

Going forward----do not amend a tax return before the original return has been fully processed.
