Chicago Manual of Style 16th Edition in-text citation

Hi,
I am currently writing my bachelor thesis and I have to use CMS 16th ed.

As far as I know, in this style, if you have an in-text citation after a quotation you need to have the last name of the author(s) and the year, like this: (Last Name Year).
However, if I add a citation in Word, Zotero writes the full name of the author(s) and the year, like this: (First Name Last Name Year).

I don“t really know, why Zotero does this, because it is incorrect, according to CMS 16th ed.

Could anyone please help me out, how can I change it?

Many thanks in advance!
