if you want to increase an ability score above 20 you need to also apply an effect that increases your ability score maximum. The default is 20, per the rules and each item or effect that lets you increase beyond that specifies as such.
When your character gains a level, his or her class often grants additional features, as detailed in the class description. Some of these features allow you to increase your ability scores, either increasing two scores by 1 each or increasing one score by 2. You can’t increase an ability score above 20.
You might decide to grant one of the following rewards to a 20th-level character, instead of awarding an epic boon. These two options can be awarded to a character more than once.
Ability Score Improvement. The character can increase one ability score by 2 or increase two ability scores by 1 each. The ability score can now be increased above 20, up to a maximum of 30.
New Feat. The character gains a new feat chosen by the player, but subject to your approval.
Using an Ability Score Increase you gain from your class, you cannot go above 20. Its in the description of the feature:
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

D&D Beyond FoundersYou can just click on the ability score on your character sheet and override the score, all the way up to 30, if that's allowed by your DM.
