I record my screen downloading the process. My church was using OBS to record with AV-E20-NDI camera and it was working fine. But I lost sound so I decided to uninstall and reinstall everything again because I began to play around and I couldn't figured it out. "I'm new at this so that was a safe choice for me LOL". Now I begin with the process again and OBS is not sowing my NDI Camera. I attached the video of the procss so you guys can see want I'm doing maybe I'm missing something.

NDI is not a natively supported video input format supported by OBS Studio (likely for licensing reasons (NewTek) and free, open-source software (OBS Studio)?)

So, you need to configure a NDI receiver (software) on your computer, correctly configure it, and then use its output as OBS Studio input
There is a NDI plugin.. but there are new NewTek NDI tools, and Win10 vs 11... so kind of a bit of a mess
I'm fortunate that my PTZ camera mfg (Panasonic) provides a free virtual USB driver that takes NDI input and make the video appear to Operating System as locally attached USB camera.. makes things real easy for us.

So your mission, whether you accept or not ;^) is to figure out what you want to do for that NDI video feed to get it visible at Operating System level first (I always start with making sure Audio and video working exactly as desired/expected at Operating System level first, and only after that, start and configure in OBS Studio (note, due to OBS Studio locking some sources, I did intentionally mean configure sources at OS level with OBS Studio NOT running).

So, first I'd check with your camera mfg. Assuming no-name knock-off brand, yea, can be 'fun'... beware camera firmware and NDI version support when working with other NDI receivers. good luck
