Sorry but you are doing this the wrong way.

NEVER ever change stuff in /usr/lib/systemd/system. /etc/systemd/system
has ALWAYS precedence over /usr/lib/systemd/system, which means file
with the same name in /etc/systemd/system will "hide" the one
in /usr/lib/systemd/system.

The proper way to do it is :
run as root: systemctl set-default --force multi-user.target

(or if you want to do it manually: ln -s
-f /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target)

That's it.
