This doesn't appear to be a technical bug necessarily, and we do not login to publisher accounts outside of the Ezoic eco-system.
We also would like to point out that it doesn't appear that the plugin placeholders have fully been disabled according to the instruction above.
We also need to point out that there appears to be incompatible caching enabled on the site (any HTML / browser / edge / page-level / varnish caching needs to be disabled). That could be contributing to not seeing the changes you're making showing on the live site.
If we can take a step back now - what exactly are you considering to be the bug?
It looks like in your last screenshot, you're unhappy that ads are filling in the 'recent reviews' section, is that correct?
