Unable to fill selected area with colour. What to do?

The fill layer has a mask. The mask determines which areas will be filled with color and which will not. Switch to it without removing the selection and fill the area in the mask channel.

Your layer is a solid color. You need to rasterize it to pixels to be able to use selection-based fills.

How do I reasterize it to pixels?
