Why is this code of Object detection using Template Matching does not run successfully

The output that I get is just the reference image and no bounding box is seen in the output.
I have tried this code from this website: https://www.sicara.fr/blog-technique/object-detection-template-matching

Here's the reference image

Here are the templates:
1:

templates 2:

templates 3:

As compared to the website, using the code the output should look like this:

Expected Output:

I am expecting to have this output as discussed in the website, however, when I tried to run this code, nothing seems to be detected. Here is the code that I copied:

Here's my attempt in detecting the larger components, the code was able to detect them and here is the result:

Here are the resize templates and the original components that I wanted to detect but unfortunately can't:

Here is a method of finding multiple matches in template matching in Python/OpenCV using your reference and smallest template. I have remove all the white padding you had around your template. My method simply draws a black rectangle over the correlation image where it matches and then repeats looking for the next best match in the modified correlation image.

I have used cv2.TM_CCORR_NORMED and a match threshold of 0.90. You have 4 of these templates showing in your reference image, so I set my search number to 4 and spacing of 10 for the non-maximum suppression by masking. You have other small items of the same shape and size, but the text on them is different. So you will need different templates for each.

Reference:

Template:

import cv2
import numpy as np
# read image
img = cv2.imread('circuit_board.jpg')
# read template
tmplt = cv2.imread('circuit_item.png')
hh, ww, cc = tmplt.shape
# set arguments
match_thresh = 0.90               # stopping threshold for match value
num_matches = 4                   # stopping threshold for number of matches
match_radius = 10                 # approx radius of match peaks
match_radius2 = match_radius//2
# get correlation surface from template matching
corrimg = cv2.matchTemplate(img,tmplt,cv2.TM_CCORR_NORMED)
hc, wc = corrimg.shape
# get locations of all peaks higher than match_thresh for up to num_matches
imgcopy = img.copy()
corrcopy = corrimg.copy()
for i in range(0, num_matches):
# get max value and location of max
min_val, max_val, min_loc, max_loc = cv2.minMaxLoc(corrcopy)
x1 = max_loc[0]
y1 = max_loc[1]
x2 = x1 + ww
y2 = y1 + hh
loc = str(x1) + "," + str(y1)
if max_val > match_thresh:
print("match number:", i+1, "match value:", max_val, "match x,y:", loc)
# draw draw white bounding box to define match location
cv2.rectangle(imgcopy, (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (255,255,255), 1)
# insert black rectangle over copy of corr image so not find that match again
corrcopy[y1-match_radius2:y1+match_radius2, x1-match_radius2:x1+match_radius2] = 0
i = i + 1
else:
break
