This is not possible using the Modern view. You either need to switch back to the classic view (with it's pros and cons) or look at 3rd party apps (also with pros and cons) that provide this capability. For example
Some apps also allow extracting properties from documents (e.g. GPS coordinates from jpg files, email metadata, ...) and retaining the original modification date.
