941-X for ERC 4th qtr 2020

I am using worksheet 2 for a large ERC. Previously on the original 941 the TP claimed $520 of sick leave credit which was all used towards the nonrefundable portion of employer SS tax. The ERC on the 941-X exceeds Social Security wages.

When I figure the nonrefundable & refundable portion of the ERC, do I reduce the employer's share of SS tax by the amount of the $527.54 credit claimed on the original 941 in step 2h? I would think so but the software I'm using only populates 2h if I also fill out worksheet 1 which I'm not using since none of the sick leave credit changes on this 941. Is it a software limitation or should I be ignoring the original sick leave figures on line 2h? Thanks for any input. I'm really under the gun to finish this today and I don't want the IRS to hold this up.
