  as you can see the top picture is what happened to my color correction after the upgrade.  Does anyone know why this happened?  Need help with this please so I don't have to regrade everything again.   I haven't touched anything on the clip.

It would be useful to know the nature of that clip, and how your did your color corrections. Without that, I can just offer some information on some of the changes with Pr2022.

 

Premiere's underlying color space handling was completely rebuilt in Pr2022. A needed change, but one that is a bit startling to most of us users. And not all of it is actually working as the engineer's intended, and yes, I've had discussions with them about this.

 

Before, Pr was totally a Rec.709 program, with the ability to use "over-range" values to sort of work in HDR for dynamic range and wider color gamuts. It was sort of possible but didn't work all that well.

 

The new color managment settings and underlying color "engine" will work with any color space and gamut it seems. But the controls are spread out through the application, and the new default behaviors are in many cases opposite of what happened before.

 

I've got a FAQ for this forum with the changes and practical means of working within the new setup. Including a couple things like proxy workflows that are just busted right now with HLG or other HDR clips.

 

FAQ:PremierePro 2022 Color Management for Log/RAW Media

 

One of the default behavior changes is with log-encoded media. Some log media Premiere used to apply a default transform to normalize that to Rec.709/SDR timeline use. It no longer does with some clips. That might be an issue here. Which is why knowing more about both the media and your workflow would be useful.

this is my clip and I added a Lumetri color filter on it with Arri Alexa - SL Input LUT and a Clean Punch HDR Look.  Is there a way to get it all back to how it used to look or because of the changes, will I have to redo everything because Premiere 2022 recuilt the way Color is handled?

As I've said, I haven't worked with any Arri media yet with Pr2022. It would be useful to get a clip to try, so if you could upload a clip to an online server and share a link I'll try and test it on my rig.
