Getting the same error as above - why is safeguarding not allowing websites to be blocked ?

Type in “YouTube.com/shorts/“
Click save

Sorry I was a bit preoccupied yesterday, not needing to use Plusnet SafeGuard myself I performed a search.

Safeguard is intended to block the web site not categories of it's content like shorts

You would need to investigate some form of parental controls

Try asking an AI this question "Plusnet SafeGuard should I be able to block www.youtube.com/shorts/" for confirmation
