I find it difficult to cram in enough calories per day, so most of my calories come from fat and protein at the moment. I’m not getting enough carbs.
Why do you believe that you need calories from carbs to bulk?
I personally created a mix that might interesting for you as well that has a lot of calories but isn’t very filling:
300ml water + 30ml Liquid Aminoacids + 30ml peanut oil + ~5ml honey + one spoon of pulverized beetroot powder
Theoretically, it makes a lot of sense to me that consuming amino acids is less filling than consuming proteins because the body doesn’t need to do work to break them down. That also seems to match my experience that I can easily drink it after another meal.
Generally consuming oil directly doesn’t taste good and amino acids directly also doesn’t taste very good, but mixing them together tastes a lot better.

Could you give specific examples for the liquid amino acids you use?
I personally use https://www.amazon.de/Mammut-Amino-Liquid-Flasche-Pack/dp/B01M0M12VS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=LGXT0V1X6YSO&keywords=mammut+amino+liquid&qid=1688664335&sprefix=mammut+amino+%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-5 and picked it mainly because it was the cheapest available on Amazon.
