I have no idea how my carbs get so high! I'm at lunch and I'm already over but still have enough calories for a good dinner.
Now need to look for a carb free dinner

Sounds like you are having meat for dinner.1

If you're logging your food, you should be able to see the carbohydrate content of everything you're eating. If you truly want to reduce your carbohydrates, identify the foods that are putting you over and eat less of those.0

In addition to the above, a day here or there going over your carb goal isn't a big deal - provided you're not trying to do a keto diet.1

In the future, plan your meals around your protein. That helps.1

Well, what's your carb goal? What did you eat for breakfast and lunch? How low are you on protein?
On the whole I think I wouldn't worry about hitting your macros exactly, especially if you just started. I'd look over your day at the end of it and see where you missed and think about changes you can make to come closer.
This, of course, assumes that you have a reason for focusing on those specific macros. You also may just want to experiment for a while and see where you naturally fall, if you are eating a nutritious diet, if you are hungry, etc.0
