Lua 2nd nested if statement is ignored

I am writing a tic tac toe game for my assignment, and I was stuck with the nested if statement. Attached part of my code below:

if name[1] == "AI" then 
     print("test string")
     playerId = 1
     if level == 1 or level == 2 then
        print("AI lvl 1/2")
        easy()
     elseif level == 3 then
        print("AI lvl 3")
        hard()
     end
elseif name[1] == "player" then
    print("test string2")
    Runtime:addEventListener("touch", fill)
end

while this executed, test string was printed on console, and playerId = 1, but inside 2nd if statement was completely ignored. Not even print on console. Could someone help me solve it please? Or tell me what is wrong with my code. Thanks
