I have already deployed it in a production environment. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me.

This is because the argocd parent app has "auto-sync" and so on.

Think about a "auto-sync chain", you must disable auto-sync from the "root" application til the child application, else argocd will do his job by cancelling your manual modification.

thanks, when i close ApplicationSet's auto-sync and the apps's auto-sync is close too. it seems work well now.
