wondering where it went though?

If you have a Bitcoin transaction-ID and multiple independent blockchain explorers show that transaction-ID having multiple confirmations and that specific transaction has an output that pays the expected amount to an address you created using your wallet — then the money is in your wallet even if your wallet software application doesn’t know about it for some reason.

Remember that wallets (real Bitcoin wallets, not third-party custodial accounts pretending to be wallets) don’t contain money, they contain the secret numbers known as private keys which are used to control amounts of money. So Bitcoin money is never really in transit and it cannot really go astray or get lost in the network.

just want to confirm there is nothing I can do!?

If you sent money from an account provided by the business named Coinbase, you can, and should, ask them for help.

If you sent money to a normal Bitcoin wallet (non custodial like Bitcoin core, Electrum etc), you can ask the appropriate support forums or ask people here for help — but you might have to provide details of exactly what software wallet you use and maybe the transaction-ID.
