ocean ripple effect not working on rectangle with gradient filter on it, need help

[jordanmsftsrep]

I am following a background tutorial and it looked like this with barely starting it. I hoped it would stop at a certain point but the previews are accurate to what I want but for some reason when it is applied it looks totally different then to what it previewed as.

Hello @jordanmsftsrep,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind sharing more details, like the OS/Illustrator version, and a screen recording of your workflow, so I can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
