Stuck trying to follow a tutorial

I’m trying to follow this tutorial : https://youtu.be/AZULIyfzAKE?si=zlHNP_smqOmddJ8D

I’m getting stuck where he adds a geometry and connects it to the null. I can’t seem to do the same.

If I could just get beyond this point I could finish the tutorial and actually learn something. Anyone, please help!

This used to trip me up as well…the fix is fairly simple though.

Jump inside the geo COMP, delete the torus SOP and then replace it with an ‘in SOP’
…making sure to activate the render & display flags.
Once this is all done, you can then go back up and connect the null SOP to the geo COMP

For future reference, the fast way to do this is to right click on the output of the null SOP and select geo COMP from the OP create dialog that pops up
