Ubuntu VirtualMin - Unable to detect correct PhP version

Question

I installed a fresh Ubuntu server with Virtualmin. It automatically installed Php version 7.2, but I need 7.4. So I installed version 7.4. When I check the version using the -v command, it shows 7.4. However, Webmin and WordPress still only see and use version 7.2. I tried uninstalling version 7.2 but the command failed and told me the module doesn't exist, but I can see it in the list of installed versions in ssh. When I try to change the php version, it doesn't show up as an option in Virtualmin, only the 7.2 version.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I'm confused. Thanks!
