It is likely the ads are no being served from the same domain as the one you blocked.

I had a similar issue with my Samsung smart tv and found the problem.

I was always checking the device only under "Top Clients (blocked only)" instead of "Top Clients (total)".

I found out that the AD domain itself was blocked BUT since I use the builtin DHCP with Pi-hole domain name called home, the "AD domain.home" was being processed so I had to block it also.
Problem solved.
