I’m not sure what you are trying to do. If you are using Finder, you need to
open your time machine volume first. Once you do that, you have to find the
folder of the date and then open that to view your home folder as it was on
that date.
If you are using the time machine interface, you have to be on the folder
you want to view in the past before you open the Time Machine interface from
the Dock.

I still need some help here or at least more clearification as to where I can
get this to work,its frustrating.
I’m confused when it tells me to open the folder where the file is or was
backed up to,so that might be some of my issues here.
Does it want me to open a folder within my home group? or does it want me to
look for a folder from the sidebar of backups?
I went that route or tried to this morning through the backup volume and
found how to get furthur back in the date by interacting with it and
allowing finder to catch up lol
But here is where I came uncertain as to what to do, I had opened the backup
volume first,then interacted with sidebar and found like the download folder,
then I opened TM,did the vo/f2,f2 twice and chose the tm controls,or maybe i
said that backwards cause I got to the date thingy and the previous button
and interacted with it and went all the way back to my last or oldest backup
which is March 2018,but all I needed to look is in November 2019,however I
wasn’t sure what to do from that point in time after locating the date/year
say then I seem to be lost cause I didn’t find any folder of the items I
needed to restore or copy.
I must have messed up somewhere and I was getting nervous being in backup in
first place so I closed it all out,which is why I am writing and asking for
help please!
I am still using Mojave.
thanks for any help,
