Any CPA's or equivalent who can help me with filing and getting my stimulus payment?

I have been disable for years and have not had to file taxes because I don't make enough.  I am one of thousands+ that the IRS sent my stimulus payment to the wrong account and from what I understand I will have to file in order to get it?  Do I file a Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR to claim a catch-up payment? Is there a place to claim the "Recovery Rebate Credit"? If I am going to have to file I just want to make sure I fill out the right spaces on the form I need to file. 

If anyone wouldn't mind giving me step by step details on filling the form out I would appreciate it sooo much.  I don't want to mess it up like the IRS did.

Thank you!

    FYI in regards to Stevens rude answer let me clear things up. NO I DID NOT mess up I received my 2020 stimulus payment direct deposit. So YES the IRS messed up.

    NO. The IRS did NOT send your payment to the wrong account. If you didn't file a tax return in the last 2 years, they didn't send it AT ALL.

    I repeat, the IRS DID NOT mess up. YOU messed up by not using the non-filer's tool back in March to give them an account # or address to send the payment.

    Your answer to your own question, which should have been an update CANNOT be true. If you received the first payment by direct deposit, the second payment was sent to the SAME ACCOUNT.

    To ONLY payments that went to the 'wrong' account were in cases where the taxpayer had their refund sent to their tax preparer so they could deduct preparation fees.My FACTUAL answer wasn't rude. You LIE in response is.
