PVE Host Time Fix

I noticed that all three of my PVE hosts, though having the correct timezone, have their times off by a couple of hours. When I went to research how to fix it I came across the following documentation... https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_time_synchronization

However, when I log into my PVE Host Shell and go to chrony.conf I do not see where to place the entries for the correct NTP sources. As you can see from the content of that config it points to sources located in "/run/chrony-dhcp", but there is nothing in that directory. Can anyone help me with getting the time fixed as it is causing my VM backups to run at a time when I am still working within them? Thanks.

CHRONY.CONF CONFIG -->

# Welcome to the chrony configuration file. See chrony.conf(5) for more
# information about usable directives.

# Include configuration files found in /etc/chrony/conf.d.
confdir /etc/chrony/conf.d

# Use Debian vendor zone.
pool 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst

# Use time sources from DHCP.
sourcedir /run/chrony-dhcp

# Use NTP sources found in /etc/chrony/sources.d.
sourcedir /etc/chrony/sources.d

# This directive specify the location of the file containing ID/key pairs for
# NTP authentication.
keyfile /etc/chrony/chrony.keys

# This directive specify the file into which chronyd will store the rate
# information.
driftfile /var/lib/chrony/chrony.drift

# Save NTS keys and cookies.
ntsdumpdir /var/lib/chrony

# Uncomment the following line to turn logging on.
#log tracking measurements statistics

# Log files location.
logdir /var/log/chrony

# Stop bad estimates upsetting machine clock.
maxupdateskew 100.0

# This directive enables kernel synchronisation (every 11 minutes) of the
# real-time clock. Note that it can’t be used along with the 'rtcfile' directive.
rtcsync

# Step the system clock instead of slewing it if the adjustment is larger than
# one second, but only in the first three clock updates.
makestep 1 3

# Get TAI-UTC offset and leap seconds from the system tz database.
# This directive must be commented out when using time sources serving
# leap-smeared time.
leapsectz right/UTC
 
Replace pool 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst with a pool of your choice or one or more (of your own) servers (like this for example server 192.168.100.2 iburst). You can check (after restarting chrony) with the chronyc sources command.
