I ended up editing the original document in Musescore (in which the same task is as simple as clicking the note you want to change and pressing a single key) and exporting a new XML, which I used to copy/paste the new rhythms to the Finale file in order to keep the rest of the formatting that had already been fixed. Thanks anyways for the help, I'm going to have to figure Finale out someday!
Well, the easiest way to do it is to go to quick entry mode (pressing enter when you have a note selected), then moving the note to the correct note (pressing up or down on the arrow keys), then changing the note to the correct rhythm (in your case, you put an eighth note), pressing enter, switching to the next correct note/rest and repeat. Hopefully that helps despite being literally text lol.
