Gotcha - I just took a look at this page on lxpanel:

https://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel#Main_Config_File

Based on skimming this, it seems like lxpanel's configfile is pointed to
.desktop files that can live in the system-wide XDG directories for
.desktop files, the main location being /usr/share/applications.

try:

 $ find /usr/share/applications -iname '*chrom*'

and then if you find it, you can change the 'Exec' line in the .desktop
file as root. This should then apply to all users system-wide.
