Citation keys change from Mendeley to Zotero

After importing my Mendeley database into Zotero, I added the Zotero bibliography to my Overleaf in the hopes that I could continue without interruption. However, it appears that Zotero puts the citation keys that Latex uses (e.g., \cite{wenger1998}) in a field called "extra" which now shows "Citation Key: wenger1998". Zotero creates their own citation key wenger_communities_1998. I am in the middle of writing my PhD thesis, and manually going through all the references in my written chapters in Overleaf is not ideal.

Is there a way to preserve the Mendeley citation keys?
