pihole showing query in the blocklist but not clocking it

I am using Docker on a ubuntu machine. with local IP 192.168.1.32

Expected Behaviour:

_Client machine should not allowed to visit web page if it is in blocked list.
e.g I have added "amazon.com" to the blocklist as a wildcard. when I try to open amazon.com from client it shows on query list with time

output for nslookup amazon.com on ubuntu
Server: 192.168.1.32
Address: 192.168.1.32#53

Name: amazon.com
Address: 0.0.0.0
Name: amazon.com
Address: ::

Actual Behaviour:

I can browse amazon.com with any issue on client

output for nslookup amazon.com on client (windows)

Server: dns.google
Address: 2001:4860:4860::8888

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: amazon.com
Addresses: 205.251.242.103
52.94.236.248
54.239.28.85

This means Pi-hole is blocking this domain.

This means your Windows machine is not using Pi-hole as DNS server.
It is using Google (dns.google).

Interesting that your expected behavior shows IPV4 as blocking but actual behaviour as IPV6 not blocking. Perhaps some IPV6 issues?

correct, when I disabled window PC IPv6, and it works
but I am not sure how to get/set static IPv6 in Ubuntu and set it on my G-2425G-A
router

here is my IP config for interface wlx14ebb647225b which I am using

        inet 192.168.1.32  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255
