Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon.
Some spells require the caster to make an attack roll to determine whether the spell effect hits the intended target. Your attack bonus with a spell attack equals your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus.
The attack on the character sheet says it’s been customized. Only you can see the edit options, I think, but my guess is that you haven’t checked the “proficient” box.
It's likely shown as Customised because it doesn't "Display as Attack" in the Bonus Actions by default. Only the Flamethrower does. It's not possible to customise Proficiency with it.
I checked on my Artillerist character and it does seem that Force Ballista is only counting Intelligence for the To Hit.
Edit: I did a quick search for Ballista in the Tasha's Support Thread and it's been mentioned 3 times by people back in November/December but I don't think any of them had an official reply.

That is why it shows customized.

The Force Ballista is not factoring in the proficiency bonus on the attack modifier on the character sheet for an Artillerist.
