Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I think the key concept here is one of domicile. You were domiciled in FL when you first went to CA. Per CA FTB Publication 1031, page 10, a domicile change requires the following:
• Abandonment of your prior domicile.
• Physically moving to and residing in the new locality.
• Intent to remain in the new locality permanently or
indefinitely as demonstrated by your actions.

If your domicile change did not occur until 2022, then for 2021 you were a non-resident of CA. If you had lived in CA for 9 months or more in 2021, then you would file as a part-year resident - but you were there for only 220 days.
Non-residents of CA are subject to CA income tax only on CA-source income. Income earned by working in a CA location is CA-source income.
