The recently developed hadron resonance gas model with multicomponent hard-core repulsion is used to address and resolve the long standing problem to describe the light nuclear cluster multiplicities including the hyper-triton measured by the STAR Collaboration, known as the hyper-triton chemical freeze-out puzzle. An improved description for the hadronic and light nuclear cluster data measured by STAR at the collision energy 
GeV and by ALICE at 
TeV is obtained. This is achieved by applying a new strategy of analyzing the light nuclear cluster data and by using the value for the hard-core radius of the (anti-)
hyperons found in earlier work. One of the most striking results of the present work is that for the most probable scenario of chemical freeze-out for the STAR energy the obtained parameters allow to simultaneously reproduce the values of the experimental ratios 
and 
which were not included in the fit.
