Can I switch the dependents to the spouse's return to get the additional child tax credit on her MFS return?

They filed MFJ in 2020.  They both received equal payments of the advanced child tax credit in the second half of 2021.  If I move all of the dependents to the spouse's separate 2021 return, the software triggers an additional $2,550 Additional Child Tax Credit and an added Recovery Rebate Credit of $2,100.  This creates a $4,000 MFS benefit.
