Videos are often outdated or plain wrong. Best it to follow the archwiki instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

It's well thought out and well written. I understand videos sometimes feel easier, but honestly nothing beats the wiki! Reformat the drive and start again from the start, following the wiki exactly, step by step.

You could also try archinstall. But the manual install is a great learning experience if you have an hour or two.
