Launch social icon links in same window

Hello

The social media icons are always launched launched in a new window/tab because they are all coded to use target=”_blank”.

Is there anyway to override this except by modifying the class-fire-utils.php and place it in the appropriate child theme folder?

I tried adding
apply_filters( 'tc_socials_target', 'target=_self' );
to functions.php but it does not do the trick.

Kind regards
