Self-employment tax confusion (QBI and other question)

I have contracting income from a company register outside of the USA.  I do work for them in US and I receive monthly income via bank wiring. Essentially, I am no difference from employee, and I do not involve in company operation. I know the income is self-employment but I am not sure how to answer these tax questions:

 

1. Actively participated in this work

Should I answer Yes? The example in the description seems to assume I have employee, but I am just working for someone else.

2.How much of your X work took place within the United States? (QBI)

I do all my job in USA. The description seems to assume I own the business, but again I only work for the company not owning them. How should I answer this? This is the serious one since it effect  how much I have to pay.

 

Here is the description:

"If your business sells products or provides services in the United States, the profits (or losses) from this business are generally US-based. This includes goods or services you provided in another country as long as you didn’t have a base of operations there"

 

EDIT: My work involve helping designing the product, but not actually providing service in US
