I'm not seeing any of my signatures on my documents I downloaded for 2021 taxes is this going to be ok or why is it like that?

Signature?  You have to sign it yourself in ink.  There is no actual signature on a efiled return.  Your signature is the prior year AGI you enter to verify yourself.  If you need to give someone a copy then sign it.

When you e-file your "signature" is electronic---you entered your 2020 AGI or PIN to verify your identity to the IRS.   The IRS matched that up to your return and accepted that as a "signature" from you.   If somebody like a lender, etc. wants a signed copy of your return, use a pen and sign on the line that says "Sign here."
