I think it's fine if you go over your carb goal, in your case it's a minimum. So are the calories and protein; if you need to go over on your carbs to hit your protein and calorie goals, do it.

Maybe nuts or scoops of peanut butter to up protein and calories?

You're trying to gain weight so you need to hit your calorie goal first, worry about macros second.

Things like full fat dairy, avocado, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, salmon, beef, pork will help increase cals.

fish, chicken, meats, yoghurt, milk are good sources of fibre
dont worry that your going over your carb goal, just hit your calories goal goodluck, add me for support if you need it

you shouldn't worry about going "over" on anything just under
hitting your protein and fats is essential to live
fats regulate hormones ad protein builds and repairs tissue and muscle
eat more caloric dense options: pasta, steak, butter, peanut butter, whole milk, cheese, nuts, avocado, eggs, fatty fish, oats, dried fruit, icecream, pancakes, cake, donuts, pizza, fries, candy
