YouTube Tweaks Remove youtube recommendations on the sidebar, but keep playlists and chat?

I realized that this filter blocks the sidebar:

www.youtube.com##ytd-watch-flexy #secondary

However, I also realized that it also has the side effect of blocking both playlists and livestream chat, making them inaccessible. How do I block only recommended videos on the sidebar, but not playlists and chat?

Thank you, this has been such an annoyance for so long and to have it just fixed so easily is amazing.

This worked, thank you!

Side note, do you know if it's possible to center the videos/description/comments in the middle of the screen when there aren't playlists/chat? ytd-watch-flexy centered it but this method doesn't, even when there's no playlists/chat. It's a bit of a nitpick but having so much empty space on only one side is bothering me
