You cannot do a clean backdoor Roth for the forseeable future.

If you can get MAGI low enough by increasing workplace contributions (your SIMPLE IRA + spouse's workplace account), contribute directly to Roth IRA (recharacterize the two traditional IRA contributions you already made).

If you cannot get MAGI low enough, reverse your 2022 and 2023 IRA contributions. The procedure is called "removal of excess contribution"
