Indeed, there have been 3sigma deviations before (e.g. the diphoton resonance) which attracted a lot of attention and turned out to be nothing. I'd encourage people to read up on the Look-elsewhere Effect when you see something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-elsewhere_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-elsewhere_effect I'm not saying this isn't potentially an interesting result, but 3sigma deviations when your parameter space is so large is actually not a big deal.
