Cannot move area light pivot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfEyhPXsOCM

this question is about :
        The 3D Cursor: 20:42
        Parenting an Area Light to a Path: 21:54
part if the above youtube video
In this YouTube video the guy is able to set the area light pivot Point to the world origin. However when I do it the yellow ball for the light pivot does not move. And when I rotate / move the area light the light beam does not stay pinned to the eyeball. Furthermore, when I parent the light area to the Circle and then I try to move my time bar that area light does not rotate a round the circle. In fact it does not move at all. I did a parent By follow path but it does not move it all.

Also after I parented them together, and I click on adjust last operation, it shows me the operation I did before  I parented them. so idk what that is about ...

I have tried in both render mode and material preview mode but it does not work

update Picture: 
My  Make Parent looks completely different from his:
The reason you are having problems is because you added a Mesh Circle instead of a Curve, Circle. Look more closely at the video 20:05, where he Add &gt; Curve &gt; Circle
Thats not the same as a Add &gt; Mesh &gt; Circle !
See screenshot below :

In the Outliner it should say BezierCircle  :)
