AS clause

"Having worked with many clients over the years, I have been occasionally surprised to watch "AS" one of them experienced an amazing “aha!” of recognition and had an internal shift after watching a movie."

I am not sure of the AS clause used right after the verb Watch when i think the verb should be followed by an object unless AS is a nominal clause

I have a couple of questions

1. Can AS be used as a noun clause?

2. what is the object of the verb Watch

3. Is the clause "AS" correctly used?

4. I mean is the whole sentence correct?

Thanks

” of recognition ] and [ had an internal shift after watching a movie ] ] . It's not a noun clause, not a clause at all. "As" is a preposition and hence the underlined expression is a preposition phrase.
