Problem hackthebox academy Stack-Based Buffer Overflows on Windows x86

So I was doing this module Stack-Based Buffer Overflows on Windows x86. It is on hackthebox academy website. It was going fine until the chapter "Finding a Return Instruction".

The question in exercise is "Try to search the 'cdextract.exe' binary for 'PUSH ESP;RET' instruction as pattern '54C3'. What is the address of the first result you get?"

I rdp into machine open x32dbg run cdextract.exe and attach process. Then I click ctrl + b (as they said to do) and look for pattern '54C3' firstly I found two addresses none of them worked after that I realized that I did not clicked Entire Block button It returned 3 additional addresses. I submitted all of them one by one as answer, but none of them were correct.
Those are the addresses: 77AEEEA8, 77AF02A2, 77B3DDC1, 77BCD627, 77BCD67F

What am I doing wrong? Should the answer be in diffrent format?
