I'm afraid you did it wrong now and the previous time.
If you just want to display your map in UTM 32N then changing the project
CRS and activating the On the Fly reprojection might do the trick; no need
to change layer projection.

But if you wanted to have your layer in UTM 32N, note that changing the CRS
value in the layer properties doesn't mean that features will be in that
CRS. The CRS option in layer properties is meant to set the projection of a
layer: a projection that you know is the good one but which QGIS couldn't
find either because there's no prj file with your shapefile or it's a
custom projection.
In your case, your data are already in their good CRS, so to put them in
another CRS, you need to do a reprojection, using some of the Processing
tools
See

and also

I have attached some screens.
