Nov 22, 2021 at 8:46 comment added wiwh Look at the dimension of the matrix $X$: it is $4\times 4$. This is because $X$ is a $15\times 4$ matrix. The confusion comes from the fact that while you have only 3 variables $x_1, x_2, x_3$, you also have a constant in the first column, associated with the coefficient $\beta_0$. So all the indices are shifted by 1.... for instance the variance of $\beta_1$ appears in $\text{cov}(\hat\beta)_{2,2}$.
