lifecycle is a Meta-Argument. Place it inside your resource block that you don’t want destroyed.

resource "aws_ami_user" "admin-user" {
   # blah blah

    lifecycle {
         prevent_destroy = true
   } # <--- lifecycle closing bracket
}  # <----- resource closing bracket

Your pic shows the meta-argument is set up outside your resource block
