Note your old expired status will not be re-instated - it was under EU law which doesn't apply any more.
You will have to apply from scratch, for EUSS: https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-ci ... d-to-apply
The web links provided should give you sufficient information about the current situation and what you need to do to apply.
As you are applying very late, after the deadline you will need to explain the reasons for this.
