RE: Just Filed 2019 Return and still did not get the stimulus check / Should I wait it out or update via the non-filer method?

Filed taxes late this year back on April 10th. Status via TurboTax is currently stuck on 'Accepted'. Tried to get the information in there due to making sure the IRS has my current bank details on file. I can confirm Turbo DID submit my return as it is currently under processing with the IRS. However, I am unable to update the payment details nor am I able to confirm if they have the correct information on file. I've tried creating an account and seeing what was already there to possibly modify the details but it does not recognize my information. I've tried for about an hour going back and forth making sure what I submitted was corrected since the IRS is very meticulous about details. Still no luck there. So now I'm concerned. Mostly about the Covid Stimulus payment. Should I instead use the tool the IRS provided to add direct deposit info? Or should I wait for them to process my return which in turn will provide them with my current financial institution details? Due to Covid I'm unsure how long this could take due to being short staffed and overwhelmed. What if I miss the stimulus check window? Should I instead fill in my info via the non-filer method the IRS provides? But that method did state to NOT use it if you've filed 2019 tax returns. But does that apply to those that have filed and been approved or just filed and under processing? Very unclear there. Need advice ASAP! Thank you.

This is my exact issue, as well. I'm surprised I can't find any real assistance regarding this anywhere. We can't be the only ones dealing with this.
