I still don’t understand what happened. Something about something happening 4 seconds late? But why was her medal challenged in the first place?

Jordan Chiles missed the medal by a slight margin. Her coaches appealed the score arguing that the judges underscored the difficulty of one of the parts of her routine. The judges reviewed the routine and adjusted her technical score which moved her into the medal position. The team which originally medaled appealed the appeal arguing that the initial appeal was requested too late and should have not been considered. The scoring committee sided with the now fourth place finisher that the initial appeal was invalid and restored Jordan Chiles’ initial score which dropped her to fourth place and stripped her of the medal.
