Friend of mines did me/my sons taxes separately but still put him as dependant on mine He didn't get his stimulus check

it is possible that he does his own taxes and is still a dependent....

please read this article and especially the section on 'Qualifying Relative'...if YOU can answer 'yes' to all 4 questions, he is your dependent.  If you answer 'no' to ANY one of them he is not your dependent.

I wouldn't worry about 2019 tax return that was completed in early 2020.   The stimulus is all reconciled in the 2020 tax return that he would complete shortly.   If you CANNOT claim him, he'll get the stimulus (both payments) through his tax return.  If you CAN claim him, even if you choose not to, he is not eligible for the stimulus.

You cannot do anything now with a 2019 return ... just don't make the same error on the 2020 return you file next year ...  

Just follow the interview ... everyone will see this screen in the Federal Review tab ...

The question about the amount you got in the advance stimulus payment doesn’t happen until the END of the interview.  By then the program has already calculated the credit and has included the amount in the refund meter you see at the top of the screen.   UNTIL you get to that screen where you can indicate how much you actually got in the ADVANCE payment the program cannot know what the correct amount really is.  So once you enter in that amount the program adjusts the credit accordingly depending on how much you already got and the refund meter will change appropriately.
