For example I want to say, I study french after school if there is time. I came up with...

J'apprends francais apres l'ecole s'il y a l'heure

is that correct?

Use "temps" when referring to time in a general sense or duration.
Use "heure" when referring to a specific time or hour on the clock

Temps refers to the concept of time in a general sense, for example a duration or an amount of time.
Heure refers to a specific time or hour on the clock.
"J'apprends le français après l'école s'il y a du temps* is what you wanna say because here "temps" is used to express the availability of time in a general sense.

Heure is a more specific time, "À quelle heure arrives-tu?" What time are you arriving (specifically)?

“Il est onze heures” it is 11 o clock
