Google verification - Google trying to verify our club's website

What is the easiest to let Google verify that we own the website? there are a few methods (upload TXT file, create CNAME file, or input meta tag)

I am not super techie so I can do the bare minimum, try to edit the source HTML code.

One method suggested by Google is to just insert meta tag into our index file HTML code.... I logged as my web page's "site admin" and use the admin console's GUI, then flip to "source" to try to add this line of code (below are from Google) for them to verify.. but some reason it won't work

Wonder if anyone has experience w that.. thanks
