Edit .mp4 file origin details with python

I am working with about 2000 home videos, all of which were ancient and I have formatted to MP4. I transferred over the media created date from the original files to the new files but it seems the MP4 holds different 'created dates' one is under properties 'file' and the other 'origin' I need to update this origin date to work with the software I am using the manage the videos.

The 'File' Date Created is correct, the 'Origin' is not.

I had a really good look but couldn't find anything online. Any help is appreciated.

Fixed, used exiftool:

os.system(fr'{exiftool_exe} -overwrite_original "-CreateDate<FileCreateDate" "videos/{video}"')

was what I figured out.
