Either-or tag check performs neither

I've got a section in my script where, based on the player's progress, the cutscene will progress in one of two different ways. If the player did poorly, a failure tag will be activated and a less-than-triumphant scene will play.
Despite the code being structured like so...

Neither of these tag checks seem to return true, because nothing from either sub-script happens in-game. It just skips both of 'em and moves on. How is this possible, and is there any way to fix it?

You just put your parenthesis in the wrong place. It should be like this:

what the
whoa
How did I not notice that.
Thanks so much!
