Why am I not able to get the lifetime learning credit?

I have 3 college tuitions for my kids that all graduated in May 2024.  Turbo says I am not eligible for the LLC and I can't find why.  Our taxable income is 156k; no one can claim us as a dependent as we are claiming our children as dependents; we do not have scholarships, grants, etc that exceed the educational expenses; and we did have education expenses with 3 separate tuitions stated on our 1098-T forms for each child.  When I looked up LLC requirements, it said for married filing jointly (which we are) MAGI limit is 160k to 190k.  Please help me understand why we are unable to qualify for the LLC credit.
