I really don't know, I have now abandoned this attempt for the time being, I am now using an override Article Blog with some conditional statements.That tutorial is not wrong. But perhaps you have multiple category menu items and the module simply links to the one using the default layout.
I used $this->params->get('blog_class') to retrieve parameters i entered at Blog->Article Class and was able to implement my changes.
I did discover this which may be of help to anyone trying Overrides and Alternative Menu Items after I had implemented my changes
https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Template_Layouts
I may revisit this at a later date as it's irking me, but for the time being the show must go on, and I have achieved the desired changes.
Everyone has been so helpful, thank you.
