How do I remove a water stain from a grey fabric sofa?

Hey guys, I’m wondering if anyone can offer some advice. My partner spilt some Katsu curry sauce on the sofa (included turmeric) - I initially dabbed it with soapy water, this didn’t remove the stain. I then tried baking soda, white vinegar and water, mixed it into a paste and applied to the curry stains - this worked! However, when we woke the next day, we realised that the initial water I used had created a water stain in a circle (please see photo). I have gone over the whole cushion with a delicate hand wash and cold water solution and left it to dry, it is slightly better but the stain still remains.
Is there anything else I can try, that will also not damage the fabric? Thank you!
Can you remove the cushion and take out the pillow, then wash it, Don't fully dry it, but when just damp put the pillow back in before it full dries.
I have also used my carpet cleaner upholstry tool to clean sofas.

Campanelli stain remover available on Amazon is the best I’ve used. Just point and shoot. Then rub or vacuum.

Hello
Try Steam leaning it, or maybe use Fabric shampoo for Suites and do the entire seat area, if not the whole couch then you should not have a drying out water mark. or when damp sprinkle over it shake & vac to take up the moisture, then when dry, Vac of powder.
Hello. I wonder if some of the paste is still remaining lingering in the circular spot. I agree with the above suggestion if you can remove the fabric sleeve and maybe just soak it in water and let it air dry perhaps the spot will disappear.
Folex should take out the stain, but I would take the cover off and wash it. Do not dry in dryer air dry then put it on the foam insert.
I would try washing the cover in oxy clean.
