Is it possible to replace 'SharePoint App' with our username in the 'Created By' and 'Modified By' metadata of a SharePoint site?

Question

Hello,

I migrate the SharePoint files to blob storage, and after restoring them from blob storage to the SharePoint site, the 'Created By' and 'Modified By' metadata values are changed to 'SharePoint App' instead of our username. I tried replacing 'SharePoint App' with our username in the 'Created By' and 'Modified By' metadata using the Microsoft Graph API, PnP method, and CSOM method in an ASP.NET Core 6 Web API, but it didn’t work.

Thanks,
