The answer

If someone misses the additional takbirat with the Imam in the Eid prayers and joins him during the recitation, they should say the takbir for and then perform the additional takbirat. This is the view of the Hanafis and Malikis, and the old view of the Shafi'is. As for the new view of the Shafi'is and the Hanbalis, they said that if one misses them, they do not make up anything, because it is a recommended remembrance that has passed its place. The preponderant opinion is the first one, which is the recommendation to make them up. Your prayer is valid, because the takbirat and the dhikr between them are , and the prayer is not invalidated by intentionally or forgetfully omitting them.
