Can somebody please help me how to make the image show up on the right side?
I can’t figure out why it’s not doing anything.

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;0,900;1,100;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800;1,900&display=swap");
body {
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #000;
  color: #eee;
  font-family: Poppins;
  font-size: 12px;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

.carousel .list .item {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0 0 0 0;
}

.carousel .list .item img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}

.carousel .list .item .content {
  position: absolute;
  top: 20%;
  width: 1140px;
  max-width: 80%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  padding-right: 30%;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  color: #fff;
  text-shadow: 0 5px 10px #0004;
}

.carousel .list .item .title,
.carousel .list .item .topic {
  font-size: 5em;
  font-weight: bold;
  line-height: 1.3em;
}

.carousel .list .item .topic {
  color: #f1683a;

Wrap the image and text content inside a container.
Use display: flex to align the image and text side by side.

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;0,900&display=swap");
body {
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #000;
  color: #eee;
  font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
}

.carousel {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  height: 100vh;
}

.list {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.item {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

.content-container {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

.img_right img {
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}

.content {
  max-width: 60%;
  padding-left: 20px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  color: #fff;
  text-shadow: 0 5px 10px #0004;
}

.title {
  font-size: 2em;
  font-weight: bold;
  line-height: 1.3em;
}

.topic {
  font-size: 2em;
  font-weight: bold;
  line-height: 1.3em;
  color: #f1683a;
}

<div class="carousel">
  <div class="list">
    <div class="item">
      <div class="content-container">
        <div class="content">
          <div class="title">text-text</div>

          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="img_right">
          <img src="https://placehold.co/600x400" alt="Placeholder Image" />
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I tried it with display: flex. And to move the image to the right I used flex-direction: row-reverse which moves the image from left to right.
In addition, I gave the text an extra container. It makes it easier and better to work with Flexbox.

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;0,900;1,100;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800;1,900&display=swap");
body {
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #000;
  color: #eee;
  font-family: Poppins;
  font-size: 12px;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

.carousel .list .item {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0 0 0 0;
}

.carousel .list .item img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}


/*Just for testing, can be ignored*/

.img_right {
  width: 1000px;
  height: 240px;
}

.carousel .list .item .content {
  position: absolute;
  top: 20%;
  width: 1140px;
  max-width: 80%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  padding-right: 30%;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  color: #fff;
  text-shadow: 0 5px 10px #0004;
  /*EDIT*/
  display: flex;
  /* Keeps it aligned */
  align-items: center;
  /* MOVES THE IMAGE TO RIGHT */
  flex-direction: row-reverse;
}

.carousel .list .item .title,
.carousel .list .item .topic {
  font-size: 5em;
  font-weight: bold;
  line-height: 1.3em;
}

.carousel .list .item .topic {
  color: #f1683a;
}

If you do not want to adjust the HTML then you can use CSS-Grid. You can place the image inside the 2nd column by using grid-column: 2;. To not space the content unintended, you should let the image take 3 rows height: grid-template-rows: span 3;

I replace your title with a <h2> tag as for titles you should always use headlines not an unsemantic div.

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;0,900;1,100;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800;1,900&display=swap");
body {
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #000;
  color: #eee;
  font-family: Poppins;
  font-size: 12px;
}

.content {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr;
  grid-gap: 1em;
  grid-auto-flow: dense;
  .img_right {
    grid-column: 2;
    grid-row: span 3;
  }
}

<div class="content">
  <div class="img_right">
    <img src="https://placehold.co/600x400" />
  </div>
  <h2 class="title">text-text</h2>
