You're in the right area
In that section, if you don't want it to show in the articles themselves and just the category, set "Article View" to Hide. That should be all your looking for, as those settings configure what types of views the Likes/Comments will show in (Article Views, Category Views, Front Page Views, etc). Then, the settings below that allow you to specify the specific articles within those views that will actually have the Like button or comment box.
Hope that helps explain, and if you need something else, just let us know
Also, in the future, please create a new topic if the question is unrelated to the original.
Best of luck,
