Admissions decisions are made by individual universities and are based on a variety of factors, including grades, test scores, coursework, essays, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities. The number of backlogs you have and your IELTS score may or may not be significant factors in the admissions process, depending on the specific requirements of the universities to which you are applying. In general universities, in the USA do not accept students with backlogs so I would highly recommend you clear your backlogs before applying to the university to increase your chances of getting admission.
There are many universities in the United States that accept the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam and consider a score of 6 to be competitive for admissions. Here is a list of a few universities that have accepted students with an IELTS score of 6 in the past:

Arizona State University
California State University, Sacramento
Florida International University
George Mason University
Georgia State University
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
Metropolitan State University
Portland State University
San Francisco State University
University of Alabama at Birmingham
University of Colorado Denver
University of Illinois at Chicago
University of Massachusetts Boston
University of Michigan-Flint
University of North Carolina at Charlotte
University of South Florida
University of the Pacific

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and it is always a good idea to check with individual universities to find out their specific admissions requirements. If you have any further queries related to the same you can always ask a question or leave a comment below.

Given your academic record and IELTS score, admission to top-tier US universities may be difficult, but there are institutions where you could still potentially secure a spot. Explore universities that are more flexible with academic histories, such as the University of South Florida or Pace University. It's also advisable to improve your IELTS score to broaden your options. Many universities also appreciate candid explanations of academic struggles and evidence of improvement or resilience, so make sure to address these points in your application.
