I have Photoshop 20.0.9 and I am trying to create a knockout effect. But the shallow knockout option in advanced blending option is not working. How can I fix this?

Can you explain in more detail what it is that is not working? Can you show us a screen shot including your layers panel?
See this help page for details on how to use the knockout feature:

Also, I wonder if you have set the Fill opacity to 0% for your knockout layer?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for replying.
Sharing a screenshot. I want to knockout the polygon so that yellow is visible in the background.
This is what I am trying to do - choose polygon layer> Blending option> Shallow in knockout> reduce the fill opacity to 0%.

Hi Priy,
Thanks for including your screen shot. It clearly shows the issue. A shallow knockout will punch through the layers in a group, and stop at the first layer below the group. If you want to achieve your desired result, put the polygons in a group, and have the yellow solid color layer be the first layer under the group:
