There are some rules related to Liquid shapes:
- They only work over shapes with fill
- The Add/Subtract/Clip shape will affect the shape directly below it in the shape order

In your video, you are creating four shapes:

- Stroke 3 (stroke only)
- Stroke 2 (stroke only)
- Stroke 1 (stroke only)
- Rectangle 1 (fill only)

On top of that, you are creating a new rectangle and setting that as an Add liquid shape. So the order now is this:

- Rectangle 2 (stroke only) (Add)
- Stroke 3 (stroke only)
- Stroke 2 (stroke only)
- Stroke 1 (stroke only)
- Rectangle 1 (fill only)

The result you are seeing is the Rectangle 2 is being added to the Stroke 3. And since Liquid shapes don't work correctly over shapes without fills, you will get weird results.

To make this setup work, you would have to move the Rectangle 2 shape lower in the shape order (by selecting the shape and using the down arrow in the keyboard).
So the correct order would be this:

- Stroke 3 (stroke only)
- Stroke 2 (stroke only)
- Stroke 1 (stroke only)
- Rectangle 2 (stroke only) (Add)
- Rectangle 1 (fill only)

That way, Rectangle 2 will be added to Rectangle 1. And on top of that, you will also see the strokes you created (which won't be part of the Liquid shape group)
