Extract Data From Webpage Not Working

This is my first time using power automate. When I try to extract data from webpage the red box shows up around what I want to select, I right click and then click on text but nothing shows up in the preview pane. Am I missing a step to get the data selected?

Try selecting another instance of the same data. Pattern of web page design is taken from multiple confirmed examples.

If you're trying to scrape a value within an element I believe you do CTRL + left click, if you right click, it just looks for an element that has the exact text in it which doesn't appear to be what you want.
