Unable to properly clip/mask

[Empire087]

  Ive been trying for the better part of the last 30 minutes to get this to clip and take the shape of the vector shapes  underneath and it just wont.  I watched the how to guide posted on youtube that i had used before, to no avail.  I attached 4 pictures, the 2 top ones which should be showing the exact same thing will not clip, vs the bottom two from an old project last year on an older version of affinity designer will do it no problem.  Literally both open at the same time, i must be missing something.  Could i get a hand? 

Thank you,

Dakota

In your second image the group layer in the Layers panel is not activated (no tick)

Try that, if not the cause please upload the Designer file

The first file pic should look like the last one correct?  The second and third should be identical is what i was trying to show.  For whatever reason number 1 is not working the same was as number 4.  Also attached what im working with.

Never mind figured it out, turns out im smoothbrain AF and apparently you had to have the vector with a fill color in order to do this.  Why i dont know, but that was the only thing set different from the first set.  This must be a small bug that mostly goes unnoticed, and i was pretty beat by the time i was working on my project yesterday.  At least theres some closure on it.
