If you have already filed 2020 taxes but did not initially qualify for the CTC do I need to amend the return to qualify for the Advanced CTC 2021?

So, I filed taxes when I don't normally because I get disability so that I could get stimulus for my children that I didn't get previously. However, I don't normally qualify for the Child Tax Credit which I didn't on taxes. The IRs website says you must claim the credit or have used the non-filers tool to qualify for the Advanced Tax Credit for 2021. Does this make me ineligible then? We should be getting the credit right?
