When you have more than one source with the same author and year, the APA rule says to distinguish them using letters.
For more information, take a look at this OWL Purdue webpage here and scroll down to where it says Two or More Works by the Same Author in the Same Year.
So one of your citations will be (Author(s), 2020a), another will be (Author(s), 2020b), and so on. You must include these letters in your References list at the end of your paper.
