Pixel 4a and RAW images

Hello all! I enabled JPEG + RAW in the Google Camera app a while back. I went to start editing some of the RAW images and, when I compared one side-to-side with the JPEG, the RAW had clear barrel distortion. I might not have noticed without the comparison and also because the image in question had straight lines.

Lightroom does not seem to have any distortion correction available for Pixel 4. I tried using the correction for Pixel 3, but it only made it worse. I needed a correction in the opposite direction, a negative correction. But I couldn't figure out any way to do that.

Has anyone dealt with this? It would be a shame to give up on RAW images.

Thanks!

What's wrong with manual geometry correction?
