It looks like you're trying to set up flairs on your subreddit. This is a frequently asked question.Please check out this guide[1] for more details on what to do, and also these Mod Center articles:

You should be editing and creating flairs in a desktop browser, **not** on mobile or via the app, for best results.

See AutoMod's comment on how to set up user flair if you haven't set one up.

Choose a user flair that will be assigned to all users without user flair.

You have to get the template_id of the chosen user flair by clicking Copy ID next to the flair in the User Flair page in the mod tools

Set up AutoMod. See: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/automoderator[1][2]

Paste this inside AutoMod's config page.
