Both「~ので」and 「~から」are used in a sentence to show excuses or causes, but
「~ので」is used when you wanna say causes of things (from third person view; most ppl can agree) and you use「~から」when you wanna say reasons from you are perspective (in other words, it is subjective).
I'll give you an example.
コロナウイルスがひどい- Covid-19 is terrible (shouldn't go outside...)
家にいる - I'll stay at home (But just staying inside is boring)
ゲームでもしよう - Let's play a video game
If you use 「~ので」and 「~から」to complete a sentence, it's gonna be like this:
1.コロナウイルスがひどいので、家にいるから、ゲームでもしよう。
2.コロナウイルスがひどいから、家にいるので、ゲームでもしよう。
From these sentences, you can see the difference b/w 「~ので」and 「~から.
The reason why "you stay at home" is "Covid-19", and this is cause and effect (objective).
And the reason you want play a video game is you end up staying at home (subjective). It means some ppl may say, let's read a book, or let's cook. So in this case, sentence 1 is grammatically correct.
Another example:
1渋滞があったので遅れました。2渋滞があったから遅れました。ー I arrived late because of traffic jam.
first sentence shows that there is "the relationship of cause and effect" (arriving late and traffic jam) from objective view point. (it sounds like you tried to come earlier like 30ms before the time, but you were accidentally caught in traffic jam, and there was nothing you could do.)
But second one shows the "reason" why I am late (subjective).
As for the second sentence, the reason is based on your point of view, so ppl may point out that why didn't you leave earlier (there must be you could do to avoid the traffic jam).
In short, when you need to use「~ので」and 「~から」, think about if it is about the "cause" or "reason". Still confusing? you can ask me questions if you have:)

うん、違う。
「から」の方がかんたん。
わたしはへただから恥ずかしい。 【接続助詞】<原因・理由>
Reason and result.
ので is more vague and less strongly works for achieving reason and result/cause and effect.
1. Politeness
表現を丁寧にするとき
(21)試合終了後は大変混雑いたしますので、
2. To describe event objectively
事態の客観的な叙述
(22)強い風が吹いたので、
3. Weaker self-justification
自己の正当性を強く主張したくないとき
(23)遅くなるので帰ります。
It is true that 遅くなるから帰ります sounds stronger to us.
