I paid over 4k in tuition (in 2023) that I owed from a school I attended in 2022. Can I add these expenses to my taxes for 2023?

No.  You must pay the qualified education expenses for an academic period that starts during the tax year or the first three months of the next tax year.  You cannot deduct education expenses paid in 2023 for a 2022 academic period.
