CP23

I received a CP23 saying that my tax return was changed to match their record of payments made.  They say I owe $1337.25 which makes no sense.  The payment forms were printed to pay $954 and that is what I have paid twice now.  They say I should be paying $986.  A penalty of $128 was listed on Line 38 on my return and a different total was listed.  However, I used the forms printed by you for my quarterly payments.  Why do they say that I owe the above amount that must be paid by June 23?  What is the penalty for and why are the payment amounts different?  Because of illnesses and surgeries, I forgot to send in my January 2025 payment for 2023 taxes.  However, I did send that payment of $626 in April 2025 when I realized my mistake.  I don't know if that figures in in any way.  I believe the calculations must be a mistake and I do not understand why I should owe what they say, which they say I must pay immediately.  Please help me!
