I claimed my disabled brother through a step parents, second marriage, and saw the option just to mark him down as my brother under relationship. Am I going to need to amend my tax return to specify that he is my stepbrother once removed L O L as I still haven’t gotten my tax return it’s been 28 days

No. You will not need to amend your return for that relationship question/answer. Whether a brother or step brother the dependency test is the same. The question relates to him passing test 2 below toward being your dependent as a qualifying relative from Publication 501. He either needed to live with you all year or be on the list of relatives who did not have to live with you (list below).
Any of these relationships that were established by marriage aren't ended by death or divorce.
