Exclude SEO column from custom post type

I used var_dump before but somehow it didn’t display anything (I know for sure WP_DEBUG is true). Even with inspecting, I couldn’t find the my var_dump().

Any idea of what might cause this?
The function itself seem to work as if I return anything that is not $columns the admin panel for this post type becomes blank.

No luck.

Here is my full code for the admin panel of that CPT.
SEO column code is the last block.

#Adds column
add_filter ( 'manage_listings_posts_columns', 'add_acf_columns' );
function add_acf_columns ( $columns ) {
 return array_merge ( $columns, array (
   'status' => __ ( 'Status' )
 ) );
}

#reorder columns
add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'column_order');
function column_order($columns) {
  $n_columns = array();
  $move = 'status'; // what to move
  $before = 'date'; // move before this
  foreach($columns as $key => $value) {
    if ($key==$before){
      $n_columns[$move] = $move;
    }
      $n_columns[$key] = $value;
  }
  return $n_columns;
}

#Adds value to column
function listings_custom_column ( $column, $post_id ) {
  switch ( $column ) {
    case 'status':
      echo ucwords(get_post_meta( $post_id, 'status', true ));
      break;
  }
}
add_action ( 'manage_listings_posts_custom_column', 'listings_custom_column', 10, 2 );

#Make column sortable
function register_sortable_column( $columns ) {
	$columns['status'] = 'status';
	return $columns;
}
add_filter('manage_edit-listings_sortable_columns', 'register_sortable_column' );

#Adds dropdown select
add_action( 'restrict_manage_posts', 'listings_admin_posts_filter_restrict_manage_posts' );
function listings_admin_posts_filter_restrict_manage_posts(){
    $type = 'post';
    if (isset($_GET['post_type'])) {
        $type = $_GET['post_type'];
    }

    if ('listings' == $type){
        $values = array(
            'Coming Soon' => 'coming soon',
            'Listed' => 'listed',
            'Conditionally Sold' => 'conditionally sold',
            'Sold' => 'sold',
        );
        ?>
        <select name="ADMIN_FILTER_FIELD_VALUE">
        <option value=""><?php _e('All Status ', 'wose45436'); ?></option>
        <?php
            $current_v = isset($_GET['ADMIN_FILTER_FIELD_VALUE'])? $_GET['ADMIN_FILTER_FIELD_VALUE']:'';
            foreach ($values as $label => $value) {
                printf
                    (
                        '<option value="%s"%s>%s</option>',
                        $value,
                        $value == $current_v? ' selected="selected"':'',
                        $label
                    );
                }
        ?>
        </select>
        <?php
    }
}

add_filter( 'parse_query', 'listings_posts_filter' );
function listings_posts_filter( $query ){
    global $pagenow;
    $type = 'post';
    if (isset($_GET['post_type'])) {
        $type = $_GET['post_type'];
    }
    if ( 'listings' == $type && is_admin() && $pagenow=='edit.php' && isset($_GET['ADMIN_FILTER_FIELD_VALUE']) && $_GET['ADMIN_FILTER_FIELD_VALUE'] != '') {
        $query->query_vars['meta_key'] = 'status';
        $query->query_vars['meta_value'] = $_GET['ADMIN_FILTER_FIELD_VALUE'];
    }
}

//TEST remove SEO column.
add_filter( 'manage_listings_posts_columns', 'remove_seo_column', 99 ); //priority
function remove_seo_column( $columns ) {
  var_dump( "GIVE ME MY COLUMNS AAAAA", $columns );
  //unset(
  	//$columns['SEO'],
  //);
 
  return $columns;
}

I tried to do a var_dump() in the first manage_listings_posts_columns but this one also returns me nothing (visible).

No way to do this for every user?
Displaying it in some cases is kinda pointless.

Oh yeah, I know about this plugin, but it’s a bit overkill considering I just want to hide one column.
