Your screnshot does not let us see where exactly things are. It is too much of a closeup, so to speak.

In particular it does not let us know where the primary storyline is.



But after messing around in FCP to try and reproduce your situation, I succeeded 😎


Open the Timeline Index (Command-Shift-2)

Select "Roles"

Click "Hide Audio Lanes".


Done.
