Ender 3 just moved to creality4.2.7 board no bl/cr touch

hi there fairly new to 3d printing had my printer 3 years but only really had time to delve into it more recently. Ive added a 4.2.7 board to my ender 3 and flashed the latest firmware. My only issue so far seems to b with the z axis not going down. could this issue be not having a bl touch and relying on the standard z stop. any help would be greatly appreciated
