HTACCESS Redirect not redirecting a certain page to another websites URL

I am editing an .HTACCESS file to redirect a link https://www.example.com/activity/siag_chair.php to a new link on another site https://www.newsite.org/newlink

The website is on a LAMP stack.

I will post below the examples I have tried. None have worked. But the 404 to /arc404.php. So I know the htaccess file at least works.

Example 1 :

RewriteEngine On
RedirectMatch 301/activity/siag_chair.php https://www.newsite.org/newlink
ErrorDocument 404 /arc404.php

Example 2 :

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /activity/siag_chair.php https://www.newsite.org/newlink
ErrorDocument 404 /arc404.php

Example 3 :

RewriteEngine On
Redirect https://www.example.com/activity/siag_chair.php https://www.newsite.org/newlink
ErrorDocument 404 /arc404.php

I am honestly not sure whats wrong or what else to try.... Any advice on what to try next will help. thx!

If I'm not mistaken, inside the htaccess, you don't see the leading "/", as you would in the apache configuration files. Try

RedirectMatch 301 activity/siag_chair.php https://www.newsite.org/newlink

Watch out, for RedirectMatch expects a regex as second parameter.
