here is my code what is the mistake ?

    local header = {
        type = 'text',
        val = ascii_header,
        opts = {
            position = 'center',
            hl = { { 'String', 1, 4 } },
        },
    }

no, the numbers in the alpha api are the range to highlight. create a highlight group like how the docs i sent you show you and then set "hl" to that group. if you need to learn more about how to create a highlight group and you can't read the documentation, google it, respectfully
