Because it is not addition but substitution. Classic way to produce organofluorides.

The second product is silver bromide (insoluble in DMF)

Three excellent videos on addition reactions. I admit to not having gone through them all yet but the explanations on this channel are always great.

The structure of your organic starting material is incorrect. Remember that a carbon has to have four bonds.

But still, this is not addition, so donĀ“t do anything with double bond, just substitute bromine with fluorine.
