Is the last modified by field a connected field?
i.e. you have added a connection to your object that connects the object to accounts then that connection field is the one you should be updating.

It is in the record rules.
When you look at the field in the data table what type is the field.

Nope. Just a short text field for Last Updated By.
No connections with this field.

It needs to be a connection
Add a new field, type connection
Select your accounts object for the connection
It probably needs to be 1 to many accounts
Label it Last updated by
Then set the record rule for the new field
