Deduct Contribution made in 2019 for 2018 on deadline

I made an additional HSA contribution for 2018 to my maximum allowed on April 15, 2019. I was not able to deduct this amount in my 2018 return. Can I still deduct this amount in my 2019 return? How?

Thanks!

An HSA contribution for 2018 would have to be deducted on the 2018 return even if made in 2019 for 2018.

Thanks for the response. If i should have declared that in 2018 return but missed it, is there no way i can use that amount to claim for deduction ever?

Can i amend my 2018 ax return using Form 1040X to deduct the additional amount contributed on 2019 for 2018 HSA ? I have not used it before but based on the description i read i might be able to use 1040X.
