Changing java version used by flutter

I am trying to change the java version flutter uses from 21 to 17

I have tried changing the JDK version in android studio via
Customize > All Settings > Build Tools > Gradle > Default Gradle JDK

I tried changing "SDK path" in the project file structure > Project > SDK I tried setting it to my installed java 17 aswell as using the download option in the drop down

I have tried change flutter config --jdk-dir to 1, 2 and 3. Which I get this error from doctor -v

[!] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 34.0.0)
    • Android SDK at /home/tentamens/Android/Sdk
    • Platform android-34, build-tools 34.0.0
    • Java binary at: 2/bin/java
    ✗ Cannot execute 2/bin/java to determine the version

I have set JAVA_HOME to every result I get from whereis java including /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk/
If I have JAVA_HOME set to any of the above and try and run $JAVA_HOME –version I get an output saying the version is 17

If I run java –version I get java 17

I have tried uninstalling flutter, android studio I even reinstalled my OS ( there was another issue I was facing )

I never installed java 21 it just gets installed with the setup of android studio

This is my flutter doctor -v with flutter config --jdk-dir ""
