In my experience, group rule memberships can be hard to troubleshoot.

The mathematical set functions might be an option. Did you try difference()?

I don't see a way to configure the membership rule to include all the members of a group unless you add that group as a member.
So I don't think you will be able to do that via membership rules. You can try using this "Does not equal" operator and see if this works for you.

This can obviously be refactored to be more efficient, robust but it would look like something along these lines:

a!localVariables(
  local!groupMembers: a!groupMembers(group: ri!group, memberType: "USER").data,
  remove(
    local!groupMembers,
    wherecontains(
      cast(
        typeof(loggedInUser()),
        local!groupMembers
      ),
      ri!membersToExclude
    )
  )
)
