Trying to add an Amazon affiliate ad without success.

I'm trying to add Amazon affiliate codes to my posts but it keeps stating block not supported. The code is below. Some say to use HTLM block or custom HTML block but I don't have these in my block selection area. Any help would be awesome.
<script type="text/javascript">
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "freesupe-20";
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";
amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";
amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";
amzn_assoc_region = "US";
amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links";
amzn_assoc_asins = "B01K4CZOBS";
amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit";
amzn_assoc_linkid = "23ba22567f8bc15e81ba822b75347be4";
</script>

A custom HTML Block is a WordPress Block. It should be there by default.
See this for reference: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/custom-html/
Can you try disabling plugins to see if one of your plugins is causing this Block not to appear?
Fernando thanks for the super fast reply. I found the culprit, I'm using a GP Developer Child Theme I found it on github, and that's what's causing the missing blocks. I thought using a child theme was fine for doing my edits in functions.php etc.. Am I using the wrong one?
Thanks!
You're probably using the wrong one. Try this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/#installing-a-child-theme
That fixed the problem. Man, I was trying to figure this out for hours, for it to be something so simple... Haha
Thanks again for the fast replies, you are an asset to GeneratePres. I appreciate your help!

You're welcome, Craig!
