NC only taxes the income you earned while you-yourself were physically in NC
As such, as long as no NC taxes were deducted, you would NOT file an NC Nonresident tax return. And if you started one in the state section, you can delete it. You said LA tax withholding was done...good, since taht income is LA taxable.
On the My Info page, at the bottom, you would not indicate income from another state (NC).

There are a few states who (under certain conditions) do tax remote workers who work thru a site located in that state, from some other state. NC is not one of them.
The Digital Nomad rule was for people who temporarily located in LA for a while (especially during COVID restrictions). Thus, if an NC resident, who was working at an NC employer, temporarily went to LA to live with relatives for a couple months, and worked remotely back to NC...LA won't tax that as LA income. But that's for people whose primary/permanent residence is normally outside of LA.
