2024 Tax Amendment Help

So I originally filed my joint return using my wife’s last check stub which was a horrible mistake and came to

find out she didn’t pay any fed tax, so which made me have to amend our taxes. The original refund amount was $7,445 (which has been accepted but is on hold due to EIC and income verification) which I get because of the mistake. Now it says I owe $859 but it shows on my 1040 a overpayment and credit $6,586 for EITC? So will i get the original $7,445 and then have to pay the IRS $859 or i won’t get anything but have to pay $859. A little confused here being this is my first amended return so any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
