Amending 2020 tax return and accidentally claimed I received stimulus prior to the filing the return while I didn't

Was confused when was being asked this question. 

 

Initially I put yes since after filing in 2020, IRS did send me a check for the stimulus - but now I realized they are asking me if I received the stimulus before, not after. After I checked yes, the due amount increased by 1800 to the IRS. What can I do to rectify this? I can't find this in the amendment process for the return
