Report Entry Shows Time 6 hours ahead of my time zone

I have a flow that inserts a row into a table with each submission.  The 'Completion Time' column comes out 5 hours ahead of my time zone.  I am in the Eastern Time Zone.  I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I am new to automate and still figuring even the simplest of flows out.  

 

Here is my current flow along with the corresponding column from my table:

I have tried a few things, but at this point, it is random tests of trial and error as I don't quite know what I'm doing.

 

Thank you.

    You're still using the Submission Time in your add row. You gotta use the Output from the Convert Time Zone action.

    This is the perfect use case for the Convert Timezone action.

    Drop this before the Add Row action, Use the Submission Time dynamic data as the base time, then in your Add Row action use the Output from Convert Time Zone as your Completion Time.
