My friend kicked me out of my account, how do i change recovery contact info?

For context, my friend and i started an instagram account 3.5 years ago, he was the one who started it originally, then brought me on right after.

today, the account is successful, and i do like all the work (90%+). he's still been part of it, but now im ready to move on without him. i changed the password, enabled 2FA, removed his number and email and everything tied to him, made sure he couldnt get in. but he got back in, because he said his account was hacked, and the recovery info was his phone number and personal email since he was the one who created the account. i attached a ss below. how can i switch those contacts, and kick him out for good?

does anybody know what to do or can help?? please it would mean so much

this is his phone number and his email is one of them. idk how to change that.
