TutorialMaterial Red Not Showing Up, "L+Left Click" on Material Preview Swung

Strangest thing, I was trying to follow the tutorial, had to trust the process, and just move on as though the color picker wouldn’t update the preview thumbnail on left side, until I got the Specular and Roughness assigned. When I was told to press the “L+Left Click” and I dragged the preview light around to finally see the red I wanted. When choosing the red, it wouldn’t let me see it. I tried searching for the similar post, but decided to make my own. I hope I’m not violating anything.
