Turn on Word's formatting display, by clicking on the ¶ symbol on the Ribbon's Home tab, then drag one of the errant paragraph breaks in the TOC to the required location. Most TOC Styles auto-update to reflect such changes; if not, right-click on the paragraph break and choose Styles>Update (Style name) to match selection.
