What if I had charitable contributions last year but because I claimed the standard deduction I did not report them. Can I use them this year.

No. You can only use them for 2024, but you apparently did not have enough donations to exceed your standard deduction for 2024. You cannot put 2024 donations on a 2025 tax return.
