Hi,

I think you should not use copy stamp node now (it is deprecated because the stamping thing is not efficient).
You should use copy to point node.

Here is a sample scene (with comments inside) about how to use copy to point with multiple geometries.
houdini 20.5.410.

as been said copy stamping workflow has been long deprecated (even in 18.5), you can also watch this [www.sidefx.com] for more info about alternatives

however

just to be able to continue following the tutorial you can open Windows/Hscript Textport and type:
opunhide Sop copy
then you will be able to find Copy With Stamp SOP in the geometry (SOP) context, understand that method and slowly pivot to other method whenever it makes sense for you
