Hello MyNae,
I understand that you don't see the Notifications settings for Instagram. Let's see if we can get it sorted out.
Those settings could be in 2 places. The first is going to be Settings > Instagram > Notifications and the other is going to be Settings > Notifications > Instagram. From there you should be able to change how your push notifications will work with your iPhone. Take a look at the article and more specifically the quoted section below for troubleshooting issues with Push Notifications.

Not getting notifications for a specific app

Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you’re not getting notifications for a specific app, try these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications to verify that the app supports notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, make sure that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
  2. Make sure you’re signed in to your Apple ID.
  3. If you’ve recently installed an app or restored a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.

If you don't see it, you will want to delete Instagram and then download it again so you can get the immediate prompts on what to do about notifications.
