I believe one of the children has an answer wrong in the personal info section and isn't showing on your return.
When a child turns 17, they are no longer considered a child for the credit but instead go over as another dependent like the adult. The math is not adding up. $2,000 for two children (4000) plus $500 for 2 adults totals $5,000- IF you have no tax liability. If you have a tax liability, then all the numbers change and your caps would be as above.
