According to
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/available-music-functions
the \after function is used as follows:
\after [music] - delta (duration) ev (music) mus (music)

Add music ev (usually a post-event) with a delay of delta after the onset
of mus.
All that needs done is flip the order of the statements.

\version "2.24.3"

music = \relative c' {
  c1
  \repeat segno 2
  {
    c1
    \volta 2 \fine
    \after 1 \! c1\>
  }
}

Might seem a bit counter-intuitive to put the \after function before the
note. Just bear in mind that \after is a function that takes the note as
one of its arguments, and it should make more sense.
