How to refresh System Report showing incorrect plugin architecture?

System report shows some of my (music) plugins with old versions, saying they're Intel-based when they are not. Is there a way to refresh the System Report. Googling only results in Intel vs Apple Silicon.

The System Report is re-generated when launched, and updated live for connected peripherals, etc. It is possible that the app list is based on Spotlight, and in that case you may want to rebuild the Spotlight index.

It’s also possible that there are both old and new versions of the plugins. Check the locations listed.
