Thank you for providing the diagnostic for review.

You entered the W-2 withholding amounts, but NJ is asking for the actual NY tax owed. Go to your NY return (IT-203), find Line 50 (NY tax) and Line 51 (NYC tax), then multiply each by about 31% (the portion of income taxed by both NJ and NY).

Replace the withholding numbers with those calculated amounts so NJ gives you the correct credit and avoids double taxation.
