vmlinuz does not point to the kernel in use

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04. It boots without any issue, however vmlinuz and initrd (including .old) point to the wrong configuration.

Is it just a simple case of removing the soft links and just pointing them to the correct locations or just wait until a kernel update and hope it will all get sorted out?

Also what is the point of the soft links as they don't seem to be used at boot, or is it a legacy thing?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
