You are able to enjoy the 72-hour free transit on your returning trip to USA. You just need to tell the airline that you want to enjoy this policy when boarding at the airport and upon arriving, you need to apply for a stay permit to leave the airport. For your situation, you may need to communicate with the airline to let them know this policy.
