:salam2: Bro ansar,
Don't you worry about it. We, the followers of Imam Syafi'e school of theology
say the prayer in fajar solah or in witr solah. If you miss it in witr solah, you can make it up in fajar solah, or say Qunnut in both solah which is even better. But the usual practise for Syafi'e is in fajar solat. Either way we won't miss this prayer at all. Not sure for Hanafis,Malikis or Hambalis. Anyway all the 4 Imams have this prayer in solah, its just a matter of timing.
wallahualam
p/s please ask your local Imam for further in-depth studies about this.

Firstly:
It is not Sunnah to recite Qunoot in Fajr prayer all the time.
Qunoot
Secondly:
Your prayer behind an imam who recites Qunoot in Fajr is valid, but if there is someone who does not always recite Qunoot in Fajr, it is better to pray behind him, so as to follow the Sunnah.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning some matters of ijtihaad in which the scholars differed, such as Qunoot in Fajr and Witr:
The scholars agreed that if a person does both, his worship is valid and there is no sin on him, but they disputed [?] concerning which is better and what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do. With regard to the issue of reciting Qunoot in Fajr and Witr, the issue of whether the Basmalah should be spoken out loud, and the issue of the words used to seek refuge with Allaah and so on ... They agreed that if a person says the Basmalah out loud, his prayer is valid, and if a person says it silently his prayer is also valid; and that if a person recites Qunoot in Fajr his prayer is valid and if he does not recite it his prayer is valid, and the same applies to Witr.
He also said (23/115):
From what we have mentioned it is clear that Qunoot is to be recited at times of calamity… whoever says that it is an essential part of prayer which may be made up for with the prostration of forgetfulness is basing that on the idea that it is a sunnah which is to be done all the time, like the first tashahhud and so on. But it is clear that this is not the case; it is not a Sunnah that is to be done regularly, and no prostration of forgetfulness is required if it is omitted. If some believe that it is a regular Sunnah based on their own ijtihaad this is fine, as in the case of all other issues of ijtihaad. Hence the person who is praying behind an imam should follow his imam in issues where there is room for ijtihaad. So if he recites Qunoot he should recite it with him, and if he does not recite Qunoot he should not recite it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“The imam has been appointed to be followed.”
And he said:
“Do not differ from your imams.”
And it is proven in al-Saheeh that he said:
“They lead you in prayer; if they get it right (the reward) is for you and for them, and if they get it wrong, (the reward) is for you and (the sin) is on them.”
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: We have an imam who recites Qunoot in Fajr prayer all the time; should we follow him? Should we say Ameen to his du’aa’?
He replied:
Whoever prays behind an imam who recites Qunoot in Fajr prayer, let him follow the imam in Qunoot in Fajr prayer, and say ameen to his supplication. This was stated by Imam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him).
