I looked everywhere for help but I feel a bit stupid right now because I can't implement what I see online into my code. The button is taking up the entire frame and I don't know what to do since I'm just a beginner, would appreciate some help please!

Will post the code in the thread

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.
