Dependent Credit

I have two kids at home, 16 and 18 years old.  My dependent credit is showing $1350.  My letter 6419 (correctly) identifies our advance child tax credit as $1350.  My understanding is that the 16 year old should earn a $3000 credit, and the older child $500.  The $500 for the 18 year old shows up correctly in the forms, but the younger child is only showing $2200. Why would the remaining credit not be $2150 (3000+500-1350) instead of what shows (2200+500-1350=1350)?
