Can my lien amount be higher than the amount listed on the preliminary notice in CA?

California
Anonymous General Contractor

Gc in CA. Finished work and owner informed me they can't pay. I sent a preliminary notice through Leverett for $200k, but the final invoice is for $260k. Can I file the lien for $260k or only the amount listed on the preliminary notice of $200k?
