htaccess change not taking effect.

Hello, everyone, I have a multisite where my sites are saving all media files, but they are not showing up and the path is different.

The site settings are to save each upload to:
wp-content/blogs.dir/#/files

Instead, each media upload is calling sitename/files/year/month/filename

I changed my .htaccess file to the following line under #Uploaded Files, but the files continue to go to the wrong page.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to restart something in WordPress or should the change take effect immediately?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /manage/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

#Uploaded Files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?siteN/files/(.+) wp-content/blogs.dir/N/files/$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . /manage/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Thank you for your help in advance.
Bruce
