How to report SIPP contributions on TC

If anyone can shed a light:
How to report to Tax Credits personal pension SIPP contributions paid last tax year?
There is no pension contribution box on paper form.

Can't do anything in HMRC app as TC section has been turned off when transitioned to UC.
Their online chatbot is giving useless answers, asking me to do it via HMRC app or my online account (which can't be done... because they have turned that section off) or contact HMRC and redirects me to the page where the contact is the chatbot... so basically it's telling me to ask him and the answer is to ask him... just going in circles...

Just deduct the gross pension contribution from earnings, and put that figure in the box.

I would phone up and speak to someone to explain. In previous years I have tried amending the total online as Yamor suggests, but it has always been changed back to the RTI figure from HMRC as there is no way of adding a narrative or any evidence online. I had to do this recently and it was fine (did have to wait for a long time to get through though so stick some earphones in and get on with something in the meantime!). Just say you need to declare a different income due to contributions from net pay to a personal pension.

I am self employed so I would think there is no RTI in my case.
Anyway, I have done what Yamor suggested and will see if that works. Hopefully I will get amended paperwork soon and will be able to close my accounts with them.
