I am unable to scroll through the images using the indicator buttons that are located below the carousel. After combing through the code several times, I realize the difficulty stems from not being able to connect the carousel class to the indicator buttons. I don't have an issue with the arrows just the indicator button dots below the carousel. I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly. Thank you in advance.

    function goRight() {
      document.querySelector(".carousel-container").scrollLeft += 640;
    }
    function goLeft() {
      document.querySelector(".carousel-container").scrollLeft -= 640;
    }

    var btn = document.getElementsByClassName("btn");
    var slide = document.getElementById("slide")

    btn[0].onclick = function() {
      slide.style.transform = "translateX(0px)";
      for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        btn[i].classList.remove("active");
      }
      this.classList.add("active");
    }
    btn[1].onclick = function() {
      slide.style.transform = "translateX(-670)";
      for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        btn[i].classList.remove("active");
      }
      this.classList.add("active");
    }

What I have tried:

I have tried making the carousel active as well in addition to listing it in the script section but was unsuccessful in my attempts.
. I have also tried placing the indicator buttons in the carousel but it scrolls along with the images.
