Late tax return, but HMRC fault

It might help if you told us

what date did you sell the shares?

When did you get the UTR from HMRC?

Where did you get the return? If from HMRC , what was the date of issue of that return?

When did you submit the return and payment?

Again I may be wrong but perhaps no return was issued? Once a UTR is received a return can be filed.

You can’t, for example, wait until 30th January, apply for a UTR, await a return to be issued and have three more months to file - without a penalty.

You can.  You can't be fined unless 3 months have passed since the return is issued.
