Yes, you did interpret the credit properly. No you do not need to record the repayment as a negative value under your 2024 income. The income reduction did not change your tax because you used the standard deduction as you noted.
You do not reduce your income when you take the credit. There is nothing else to do now that you have the credit in place.
