How to access the backend of Forms stored on SharePoint

Question

My organization has several SharePoint workspaces. The best way I've discovered to get Microsoft Forms to automatically upload their results to these SharePoint sites is to create the Forms directly in the SharePoint site by going to New > Forms for Excel. However, now that I've created several forms, and linked to the response-collection page and the results file from SharePoint, how do I get back to the page for each form where I can access the questions and edit the forms?

Since the forms were created for the SharePoint site and not for my account in particular, when I click the button that says "My forms" it doesn't show any forms. Also, that button is not always there for some reason. Please advise. The only reason I can access the front-ends of the forms I spent hours making is because I copied the links before I closed the tabs. That doesn't seem right. And I can't seem to access the back-ends at all. Are they accessible from anywhere on the SharePoint site?
