Can anyone explain why I couldn’t do en passant?

For some reason it won’t let me post videos or photos

Near the end of the game
White Pawn a5 -a6
Black pawn b7-b5
Wouldn’t of been put in check or anything and because of that it cost me the game

Your pawn needed to be on a5 to capture en passant after b5.
