Can I adjust the sentence like this?
This is the original sentence: "First, let's clarify on that we are not talking about hacking as in breaking into computers."
And I want to get rid of "on" and "in", like this:"First, let's clarify that we are not talking about hacking as breaking into computers."
Do you think the original sentence and changes are right? Are "on" and "in" associated with some words to form some patterns?

you can get rid of "on"
The second one, your correction looks wrong. Grammarly speaking.

Getting rid of propositions will make your sentence more succinct and your core message more obvious.
