Also, a handy video I found about passports and places of birth (and why they're useless and pretty much only invite discrimination or funny situations):

8 FAM 403.4-5 City of Birth Listing

(CT:CITZ-73; 06-09-2022)

a. U.S. citizens born abroad may choose to list the city or town of birth if they object to the Department’s designation of the POB, and an individual who is notified of the policy may also elect the city of birth option unless this subchapter specifies otherwise. There is no requirement that the applicant document the reason for the objection, if any.

And all the following sections. See if your case appears there.
