In Florida, are there any risks to amend a lien if the debtor's general contractor has posted a lien?

FloridaBonding Off LienRight to Lien

We are an equipment rental company. We initiated a lien on a real property where we provided rental equipment. However,currently the amount owed was more than the lien amount. We are currently within the 90 days as of the last day of the delivery of the services. However, the general contractor posted a bond couple weeks ago, which is also less than what was owed. Can we amend our lien to reflect the correct owed amount, even though there is a bond? The Florida statutes FS 713.08 and 713.24 seemed to be contradicting as to amendment of the lien amount. Is there any risk of not able collect any or portion of the amount owed in case of amendment to lien? Thank you for your help!
