Yes. Apply to junior roles, even though you were senior in the other stack.
Any fancy wording will not hide the fact that you do not yet have work experience in the new stack. In fact, you should make your situation clear, to save you and employers time and effort. The sooner you find out you are not a match, the better. That's probably what has been happening. The companies you have been applying to are probably looking for specific experience, and you do not qualify. So they do not reply at all. Each non-response brings you one step closer to finding a match. You know another company which is not right for you right now.
Recruiters are paid by the company to bring in people with specific experience. With no work experience in a specific stack, recruiters are probably not the way for you to grab the bottom rung of the ladder.
You have to talk to people. Lots of people. Ask each one, " Do you know one company which is currently hiring junior people with little or no experience in a specific stack?"
Look for a company which WANTS a junior programmer with little or no experience in a specific stack. They are much harder to find, but they are out there. It's not easy, but it's possible.
