Change of status (int’l travel) implication on AOS (I485) application

I filed my AOS (I485) application in 2020 while I was already in US and waiting for adjudication on my L1 extension petition. However, the L1 extension was denied in early 2021. So, I travelled to India to get my approved H1B stamped and then I immediately returned back to US with H1B status. Upon my return to US, I also completed the biometrics for my AoS process. Now, I’m not sure whether I had abandoned my AoS application by departing US while on L1 and returning as H1B i.e. different statuses? Should I be refiling the fresh I-485 again?
