mysql wont start after the 'sudo systemctl restart mysql' command was just putting the finishing touches on ubuntu clustering [closed]

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 and was setting up a mysql cluster with 1 management node and 2 other nodes. I was following this tutorial as I'm new to this and am a student doing a project. heres the tutorial

I had a hard time setting up the cluster due to my group of 5 including me working off of Google Cloud Platform, so I first needed to set up a VPC peer connection. I got everything running smoothly after using the private IPs I set for each GCP account within /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini

All 3 nodes were running and active. I was working on the final steps of the tutorial and installed all the dependencies for the cluster in Step 3. Once I reached the end of Step 3 the tutorial said to run 'sudo systemctl restart mysql' for the changes to take effect.

Once I did that, MySQL failed to reset and now it wont start.

This is the output from 'service mysql start'

service mysql startFailed to start mysql.service: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replyingSee system logs and 'systemctl status mysql.service' for details.

And this is the output from 'service mysql status'

I figured out what made it break, I was instructed in the tutorial to go into the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and add the following

    . . .[mysqld]# Options for mysqld process:ndbcluster                      # run NDB storage engine[mysql_cluster]# Options for NDB Cluster processes:ndb-connectstring=198.51.100.2  # location of management server

So my question is do I need this in the file to complete the cluster?
