modifying the config.txt to 32-bit caused the system to not boot. no go so far. checking to make sure the correct image is used.
finally have a stable version. It is: Linux raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7l+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:39:41 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
the i2c is a little different:

I have HDMI connected externally, but this is the only screen working, nothing onboard.
Now after applying the reTerminal2.sh , I am missing the external HDMI screen.
