The expression in your tutorial is incorrect. It should be more like this:

L = thisComp.layer("Magnifier");
fromComp(L.toComp(L.anchorPoint))

Try this expression:

m = thisComp.layer("magnifying glass");
m.toComp(m.anchorPoint);

Do you know that, your screenshot with a line of code written in a book brought back 40-year-old traumas for me.
When I was about 6 years old in the 80s, my father bought a Commodore 64, but no games,
just books that contained the source code for a few games that we had to copy out.
There was no save/memory, so every day for 3 or 4 years,
I mindlessly copied pages and pages of code just to be able to play.
What a nightmare when I think back on it! 😂
