@ajacks,
After setting these settings to be hidden. Hit on save settings. After that, log in as an instructor and these settings will not be visible to instructors.
You might be checking as an administrator, that's why it is visible to you.
But to disable the badge setting for the administrator as well
refer this tip:

If you are not using any child theme then paste this code in wp-admin > Plugins > Editor > Select WPLMS Customizer Plugin
