I have a bit of an embarrassing question. On AMCAS, when I put in the address of my current PI for his letter of recommendation, due to an auto-fill setting on my computer, the state it says he is in is Georgia, not Connecticut. I called, and AMCAS said that I cannot change that now, and the closest thing I could do is update all of the schools to which I applied of this error. My question is how important this address line is and if this something I should update. I am afraid it would draw negative attention to my application and if it something of little consequence then I would just as soon not do it.

It will be fine.
So you don't think I should write to all 22 schools to correct this mistake? The letters have been sent to all the schools without issue, so I thought it might be fine to just not tell them about this, but I wanted to make sure

Regardless of the address you listed, if the PI got his/her own address correct within the LOR then you are fine. Mistakes happen.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot. You'll be fine. Most people would not notice this, and even if they did, I doubt they would care.
If we needed to contact your LOR writer (we won't), we would do so via email or phone, and not via snail mail anyways.
