An adverbial clause 'haw'

I'm not entirely sure why, but the statement is correct how it is or with the order of your bolded and underlined phrases reversed.

I think 'how it is' is a relative adverb clause as well as an adverbial clause, because the former explains "the way the statement exists" and the latter explains "the statement is correct in the way."
So could I rephrase "but the statement is correct how it is" to the following?
:"but the statement is correct in the way which it is in"
