Before applying the filter, go to filter menu -> convert for smart filters

It's not clear to me what you are asking, but I will give it a try.
The Layers panel on the left has a Filter Effects Mask Thumbnail. The areas of the thumbnail that are black are hiding the Motion Blur. The white areas are showing the effects of the filter.
To do the same on your Layers panel (Calques shown on the right), first make a selection of the area where you want the filter to show. Then apply the Motion Blur filter.

In your screen capture, the layer has the symbol or badge of a smart layer in the lower right corner of the layer thumbnail, therefore the layer should have automatically gotten a filter effects mask thumbnail when the motion blur filter was applied. That leads me to believe that the layer was converted to a Smart layer after the filter was applied. As Mohammad.Harb said, the layer needs to be converted to a Smart layer before the filter is applied.
