You need to play with the effect settings to get this right. Here's a YouTube tutorial that could help: https://adobe.ly/4hQ8JQI

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks! what i was reading just told me to keyframe the strength but i found out i had to keyframe the depth from that video now it works!

I don't see any keyframes for Shatter. You have to animate the Force position or size to start the effect. I usually just set the position behind the layer or animate the size to start the effect—no Keyframes = breaking starting at the first frame of the layer.
