How do I change the clipboard program that neovim uses? (self.neovim)

I start my coding workspaces in tmux sessions which persist when I log out. If I switch from a wayland session to an x11 session, then my copy and paste functionality in those neovim sessions are broken because it's still trying to use wl-copy. To be more precise:

Start a wayland session.
Open a terminal and start a tmux session.
Open neovim and do some work.
Log out of wayland, log into an X11 environment
Open a terminal and reconnect to the tmux session
"+y broken. clipboard: error invoking wl-copy: Failed to connect to a Wayland server...

Restarting neovim isn't sufficient. I have to restart the entire tmux session or switch back to wayland. Is there some short cut I can take here?
