Open the uBlock Dashboard, then in the Filter Lists tab click the Purge All Caches button (then the Update now button)

For quicker syncing, you can:

Open uBlock Settings -> click Filter Lists tab -> type "quick" into search box -> click clock icon for "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" -> click "Update Now" button up top

That will only clear the cache for the fixes that actually counter the youtube countermeasures. Helpful if it takes a long time to download and refresh when all of the caches are invalidated.
