In Illustrator 2022 'expand appearance' > release clipping mask > ungroup doesn't work. There is still 'image' in appearance panel, not object. What's wrong?

Hi, thanks for the video. I used a different word, however when (at 5:20) I remove the tops of the letters they don't come off like a "lid" and there is empty space behind. How do I fix this? I'm sure I haven't missed any steps out. Thank you.
