It should be OK. Although room and board does not qualify for the education tax credits, if you consider the 529 plan funds having been used to pay room and board (a qualified expense for 529 plan use) and then tuition and fees can be considered as having been paid using non-529 plan funds, in which case they would qualify for the education tax credits.
