Big mistake: Amend form 8283 for carryover

Hi!

I made a big mistake, I made large charitable donations in 2019 that exceeded the amount I could deduct that year, so I was planning to carry over the excess into 2020 and 2021. I filled out form 8283, but I only included the portion of the charitable donation that could be deducted in that year, I thought that in the following years I could put the rest of the donations on 8283. But actually I was supposed to put them all on form 8283 in 2019. Should I amend my 2019 taxes even though no actual income, deductions, etc will change? i.e. just change form 8283?

Thanks!
