Amend a return - Wrong Coverage and Exemption Codes make me lose $1010

I' m trying to do "Amend a return" after filing.
I live in California and just filed 2025 state tax.
There are wrong codes in my filed CALIFORNIA FORM 3853 "Health Coverage Exemptions and Individual Shared Responsibility Penalty" Part III Coverage and Exemptions -> Coverage and Exemptions Codes which let me pay $1010 Penalty.
I want to modify this part but cannot find any entries to make changes on this part, I thought it might be under "DEDUCTIONS & CREDITS" -> "Medical" -> "Health Insurance Marketplace" -> 1095-A, but it doesn't work.

In order to change the California Form 3853, you would need to change the entries you made in the California interview to indicate which household members had coverage or exemptions for which months. The medical insurance questions are near the beginning of the California interview.

 

Note that the California amended return, Schedule X, is not supported for e-filing (see the TurboTax Forms Availability webpage). When you have completed the form with your changes, TurboTax will provide instructions for mailing the form with the updated Form 3853 and any other updated information.
