Gst paid under wrong GSTN

A person is having two GST registrations(GSTN-1 and 2). Actually Invoices are issued under 1 but filing(gstr1 and 3b) is done under 2 and gst payment also under 2 for 18-19,19-20 and 20-21.
Now the recipient of services has withold all the payment bcz gst no filing by service provider. Bcz billing is under 1 but filing is under 2.
Now Reg. 1 is deactivated as bcz return is not filed for a long time and at the same time we hv deposited all taxes under Reg. 2 mistakenly .
Query-
I.) How to get the money back back that has been deposited under Reg. 2.
II) Can we reactivate the Reg1 and to file for all the prvs years(18-19,19-20 & 20-21).

Quick Summary
A business issued invoices under GSTN-1 but mistakenly filed returns and paid taxes under GSTN-2 for multiple years. This has caused issues with the recipient claiming ITC, and GSTN-1 has been deactivated due to non-filing. The query seeks to understand how to recover the wrongly paid GST and whether GSTN-1 can be reactivated for past years, considering the client's strict requirements.

How does it matter... Keep everything under Reg 2. Tell Service Receiver it was mistake of GST number.Give him revised invoices. What else is required. He will get ITC credit also.
But the agreement and PO is for Reg. 1. Most importantly invoices are issued under Reg. 1, but while filing the consultant has filed everything under Ref.2. Bcz doesn't see actual invoices he just file the gst returns based on the mail shared by the service provider. Again The client is big one(L&T) they may not accept for any changes other than the invoice under Reg. 1. Since their books are freezed and accounts are closed. Hope you got the point.
