don't Fitz' time theories majorly contradict themselves?

rewatching right now and i STILL don't get this.

in season 3, when daisy was seeing charles' visions, fitz described time as a stack of paper, unchangable and fixed.

then in season 7, he completely switched up and had the whole branching timelines thing going on.

so was he wrong in season 3?

cause the way i understood it, they altered their own timeline in season 7, correct? like fitz and simmons went time travelling, left their daughter, and then returned back to the same spot, the same time. they DIDN'T end up in a whole new changed timeline, right?

they ended back up in their own? (i still don't get this)

so can someone please explain to me whether fitz proved himself wrong or whether i'm just not understanding the whole season 7 plot?? or maybe both lol
