Trying to connect my Meta Pixel to my Shopify store, but I’m having trouble manually connecting the Pixel ID.

On my account, it says “Behavior will be tracked with this pixel” and lists an ID, however it appears that Shopify generated that ID itself. When I click “Change” and “Create new”, it generates another one. How would I enter the Pixel ID that is displayed on my Facebook Business account?

Thanks for any help!
