Tim is correct.
If you are using a hosted nameserver you will have to contact them and
request a PTR record for 172.16.96.20 that points to
centos8-opstcore-vm.homenet172-16-96.com.
If you are managing your own nameserver and it uses BIND format you need
to have a zone file with the correct nameserver name(s).
$TTL 3d
$ORIGIN 16.172.in-addr.arpa.
@ IN SOA your.name.server. email.your.name.server. 1645631337
16384 2048 1048576 2560 ;; the @ record is all on one line
IN NS your.name.server.
20.96 IN PTR
centos8-opstcore-vm.homenet172-16-96.com.
Hope this helps,
