pg_receivewal configuration issues

Hello Expert's

I am using pg_receivewall feature to replicate wal segments on different
location on same server. here is my configuration .

postgres version 11.2

parameters in postgresql.conf

archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'cp %p /oradbaudit/pg_archive/5400/%f'
wal_level = replica
max_wal_senders = 9
max_replication_slots = 10

added entry in pg_hba.conf

host replication postgres all trust

I have created physical replication slot

select * from pg_create_physical_replication_slot('5400_xlog_4_recovery');

executed pg_receivewal command ...

pg_receivewal -D /oraworkspace/pg_stream_xlog/5400 -s 5400_xlog_4_recovery
-h localhost -p 5400 -U postgres

when i look at the status of physical replication slots, it shows inactive
. Am i doing anything wrong?

postgres=# select * from pg_replication_slots;
slot_name | plugin | slot_type | datoid | database | temporary
| active | active_pid | xmin | catalog_xmin | restart_lsn |
confirmed_flush_lsn
----------------------+--------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------+--------+------------+------+--------------+-------------+---------------------
5400_xlog_4_recovery | | physical | | | f
| f | | | | |
(1 row)

but when i check the wal segments, those are getting created under
replication slot location "/oraworkspace/pg_stream_xlog/5400"

[postgres(at)sl73osodbd008:/oradbaudit/pg_data_dir/pg_wal ] $ psql
psql (11.2)
Type "help" for help.
