Form 8863 line 23 asks “Has the Hope Scholarship Credit or American opportunity credit been claimed for this student for any 4 tax years before 2020? “
You say it was claimed THREE years, not FOUR, so the question is properly answered "NO".
If you claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit on your 2020 return, that credit will no longer be available for that student going forward.
