I have gotten the step to work in preview, inspect the li's and the 4th ones do in fact clear: left, but still no success. Trying to clear these basic courses quickly to move my track to fit with my current skill set, so any quick tip would be great.

I'm still not completely clear on nth-child yet but setting the (4) as the value won't work as I believe this will only target the 4th child element and that's it.
To target every 4th element you need a modifier character, an n to tell CSS you want every 4th child element it finds. so try the following.
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li{
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
