It doesn't matter what year the money was on your tax return. What matters is what year you paid it back. Since that is 2024 then the credit for repayment will go on your 2024 return. But you will use your 2022 return to figure out the amount of the credit using the link that @KrisD15 provided above.
Your former employer should provide you with documentation showing that they received the payment. If you were audited by the IRS then they will want to see that paperwork. Some employers might even provide you with an amended 2022 W2 in which case you could amend your 2022 return and get the credit instead of waiting for 2024.
