Where and how are you editing the HUD?
If you are editing the file HUD_config.xml you need to ensure that you are editing the correct one.
If you're using Windows, open explorer and type %appdata%\fpdb in the address bar. The one in there is the one you want.
If you're on linux or a Mac, I'm not sure where it goes, but just make a change using the preferences dialogue, then search for HUD_confg.xml and the one you want will have the newest time stamp.
If using the preference dialogue to edit the HUD, find the game to which the HUD applies under the games branch.
In there will be one or more game_stat_set entries
Open them until you find the HUD you want to edit.
Note the name of the stat set.
Now go the stat_sets branch of the main tree, find your stat set and you can change several aspects of each HUD entry.
Note that you cannot add rows or columns in the preferences dialogue.
tbh, I find editing the HUD_config.xml file to be far easier and faster.
Keep a backup!
Use only a plain text editor.
That's all I can think of.
If you have any specific questions fire away.
