So, I am applying to AACOMAS again, but I have to cultivate all of my letters of rec again. Did you just contact the writers to have them write another letter? I tried contacting some and nobody has replied. I am out of school right now, so am I out of luck? Should I enroll in more courses to procure a letter?

I thought AACOMAS now lets you import all of your old stuff from the previous cycle. Is that not the case? Maybe you can contact AACOMAS and ask them if they can add your old letters to your new app.

They imported everything but the letters. I don't know why, that was the most crucial.

I would contact your old letter writers. This exact situation is why Interfolio is the GOAT for LOR's.
 
I contacted my LOR writers a few months in advance to let them know what I needed... then contacted them as soon as the app opened again to let them know they should be receiving a request in their email to write the LOR... I would say give it some time. After a week or two and no response, then i'd try finding others to write them. You're still early in the cycle yet to start freaking out so be patient for a week or two to get responses. They're most likely busy with other things as well
 
If you use interfolio just tell your letter writers to log in and change the date on their letters
 
Not to beat a dead horse, but yeah if you use interfolio you have them forever
