You can force the architecture with the -a/--arch argument, for example:

g install --arch amd64 1.22.0

I just did notice that the argument gets ignored if you have the same version number for a different architecture installed already, I will fix it when I get a chance. To work around it, you can remove such version and run the install with the --arch:

$ go version
go version go1.22.0 darwin/arm64

$ g remove 1.22.0
        remove: 1.22.0

$ g install --arch amd64 1.22.0
      selected: 1.22.0
      location: /Users/sam/.go/.versions/1.22.0

    downloaded: 1.22.0
     installed: go version go1.22.0 darwin/amd64
