I wanted to prevent theocracies besides religious heads using open elective succession and wanted them to revert back to liege. But it doesn't work, can anyone help?

Are they still getting open elective? Must be something in that law's potential that still allows them.
If they're getting gavelkind instead, they're not eligible for any succession law and the game defaults back to gavelkind.
You may enjoy adjusting succession laws from the files in CleanSlate, linked in my signature. They're much easier to read.

IIRC, "primary = yes" in landed_titles force those titles into Open Elective.
