thought I didn't received EIP but I did

I have already filed my 2021 taxes and they have been accepted. I didn't think I had received the EIP last spring. But after filing I found that I did. Can an Turbo Tax Expert let me know if I should amend or just wait and let the IRS correct it in my return?

The IRS will adjust your return but any refund will be delayed.

Not trying to disagree, but how do you know this is the correct way of handling this?

Instructions from the IRS.

Lots of people are making mistakes with this.   The IRS looks at line 30 and corrects the mistake if you made one there.   They can correct it more efficiently that way than by having you submit an amended return that could take six months to process.

 You just have to wait for the IRS to fix your mistake.   By answering incorrectly about the stimulus amount you received you put an amount on line 30 of your Form 1040.   The IRS checks that line.  They know how much they sent to you.   They will reduce your refund by that amount.   This will delay your refund so expect a wait.
