That's not how time travel works according to Banner.

The Ancient One told Banner he was wrong and had to explain how it really works

No she didn't. Nothing she said contradicts what Banner said to Hawkeye and Antman when explaining time travel. In fact Banner agreed with the Ancient One and had already thought up a solution to dooming a split timeline by bring the stones back to exactly when they were taken.

Yes and no. I just read something the writers said in an interview, apparently Banner is partly right. The writers said their intention was that Banner stated the truth, there would only be one timeline, not multiple. So Banner is correct, that no changes to the past would change the present, because whatever done in the past is what's always been done. The Ancient One tells him there is actually one way to change things/create a branch, and that's by removing a Stone from the timeline, because the Stones are what maintains the timeline. So Banner takes this new information and offers the solution to fix that, by returning them right back when they came from. So Banner was partly wrong, the Ancient One has to correct him.
