Did I screw myself by not filing past returns on time when I have NOL?

I had NOL's for 2015, 2016, 2017 from a failed business investment. I never filed tax returns for those years and never filed form 1045 (I was unaware of the form1045 until now). My intention was to carry forward the losses/Nol's in future years. During 2018 - 2020.... I have worked a w-2 job and claimed exempt. I am now wanting to get caught up on those past tax returns and apply the carry forward 2015, 2016, 2017 NOL's to my 2018, 2019 earned income. Did I screw up my chances of claiming my 2015,2016,2017 losses on my 2018, 2019 tax returns?
