Question

Form 8863 - Lines 25 and 26 are not checked

TT never asked me if I graduated college before 2020 or if I'm a felon.

 

So... the filed form is showing neither "Yes" nor "No" checked.

 

Is this a reason to amend the return?

Perhaps you were not eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, so the program didn't ask.

That, alone, is not a reason to amend, if your return is otherwise correct.  The IRS will let you know if they want more.
