Unable to change Bid Strategy

I am new to using google ads. A couple of days ago I launched my very first campaign. I recently learned that initially it is best to set the biding strategy as "maximize clicks" just to get enough data. However, currently my bidding strategy is set to "maximize conversions" and it appears that I am unable to change it. Other users have an option called "select a bid strategy directly". I don't seem to have that option. I suspect this is due to the type of campaign that I am running (Campaign type is set to performance Max). Does any one have any suggestions about what I should be doing in this situation ?
