You can't apply the credit carryover to 2021 if you didn't have any foreign income in 2021. You can only use it to the extent you have US income tax on foreign income. You used some of it in 2020 because you had foreign income in that year, so some of your US tax was on foreign income you added to your US income. You can't use it again until a year in which you have foreign income.
