Cerb repayment on tax return

So I put in all the information I have. There isn't a lot. I have 1 t4, 2 RRSP slips and that is it. Now when I got to enter the amount I repayed for Cerb from my T4E (dated on CRA website as 2022), I put in 425 in "Amount from T4E Box 30 already deducted in 2021" and I get an error saying

 

Amounts deducted in 2020 and 2021 can’t be more than total benefits repaid. Review your entries.

 

The photo shows the error. I can't figure out where I am supposed to put this. I just want to apply the 425 paid to my 2022 return.
