In camera histogram is better than no histogram. However, it will show you clipping when there is none in raw, and it will show you no clipping when there is clipping in raw.

Judging by past comments, you almost certainly have.
-
that makes it even worst then
-
what just pressing convert to Tiff with no adjustments !
-
Then why didn't you post that in your op?
Trying to pass off the ACR histogram as the raw histogram in your op only proves what I said in that you have no idea what a raw histogram is and represents.
As I said earlier, cut your losses, admit you screwed up (we all have at some point) , acknowledge you learnt something new and move on instead of appearing more foolish with every post.

Adjustments are part of the equation. Your default processing has nothing to do with the RAW histogram you see in RawDigger - it’s showing you what’s in the RAW file, but it may very well require some processing know-how on your part to make the most of it. If RawDigger doesn’t show any blown highlight clipping, that detail is available to be exploited.

What is the baseline exposure of the camera? if you don't know this then you don't know that your raw converter is doing, if you don't know what the converter is doing then how do you know where your tones are stored within the raw file if you don't know where you tones are stored within the raw file then you don't know where clipping is occurring within the raw file.
photographylife.com/where-are-my-mid-tones-baseline-exposure-compensationWhat are the multipliers that are being applied for your WB you have selected, for daylight your red channel is being multiplied by 2 times for a lot of cameras out there, If you don't know is happing to the WB and what multipliers are being applied to the conversion then how can you tell where these channels fall with in the raw file a guess you will never know with the cameras histogram or even the raw converter

The processing is what has caused your clipping not the raw file
select raw composite under display and also select ovexp to see the raw file and not the RGB rendering -
thats what im not seeing at all, the camera histogram is very accurate and the blinkies even more so, or maybe not still some testing with those. 🤨
-
what processing, i just converted the raw to tiff 16 bit in raw digger thats it.
-
Oh well. that just shows you still do not understand what a raw histogram is and represents even though it has been clearly explained by multiple members in this thread.

Exactly :-)
-
where is over exposed ?
-
This way when viewing in RD you are seeing the raw image
-
it still clipped 🤨😵💫
-
No its not and RD tells us this
