Error in HST submitted to Government

Been a user of Quickbooks for farm books for years now, FAR from an "accountant" so please bear with me!

I discovered that when I submitted my 2nd quarter HST I didn't claim enough/correctly.  I claimed $535.97 through website, but I should have claimed $587.39 according to my program.  Now, onto 3rd quarter, I claimed $460.79, but still have been unable to fix the 2nd quarter mistake and would like to do that before doing final claim for the 2024 year.

How do I go about fixing this?  Do I somehow do a tax adjustment for the 4th quarter?  How do I receive the payment from 2nd quarter - can I short receive the amount owed to me by Receiver General?  By not receiving the amount from 2nd quarter, is it messing up my current HST by chance?

Another issue I have, I do not understand journal entries or how to do them, so if that is needed - I don't know how to do that at all.

I'm using Quickbooks 2020 Pro version on desktop

 

Yeah, I need a bit of help to say the least!

Any insight would be great.

Thank you
