updating album createdAt?

What's the method for editing createdAt and similar properties of albums? I just imported 700+ albums from Google Photos (using immich-go) spanning over 20 years, and all the albums have the current date as "Date created" (and modified) in the Immich UI; but I want the albums to reflect their actual creation at Google, so I decided I should use the date of the oldest asset in each albums to set "Date created" in the UI. I wrote a script which pulls the assets and figures out the date I want, but the API's "createdAt" album property doesn't seem to be PATCH-able on the Albums endpoint. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there some other technique I should use?
