Clipping mask help i feel stupid
So I'm trying to get a simple clipping mask to work in illustrator so I have a file in a vector format. It's simply putting 2 lines over text. I can easily do it in photoshop but I can't seem to figure it out in illustrator i've looked at a few tutorials and it's still stumping me... Here are some images and also some information Both f's are are compounded and as well as both of the red lines

and this is how I want it to look
