Files widget opens files with M365 instead of Quick Look

How to change the default app a file opens in, when opening a file from the files widget on my home screen? In the files app, I have it set to preview with quick look, and it works well. When I go to my home screen and open a file, it opens with M365.

In the Files app, long-press a file, tap Open With and choose your preferred app to open files of this type.
