So how do I fix it

Based on the code you provided, it seems like you are not actually calling the SaveData function anywhere. Without calling this function, the data will not be saved to the DataStore.

You can call SaveData function at regular intervals using a Task object from the TaskScheduler module. For example:

local DataHandler = require(script.DataHandler)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local dataHandler = DataHandler.new(player)

-- Save data every 5 seconds
game:GetService("TaskScheduler"):CreateTask(function()
    dataHandler:SaveData()
end, 5)

This will create a new DataHandler instance for the local player and save the data every 5 seconds using a Task. You can adjust the time interval as needed.

Additionally, make sure that you are calling the SaveData function after you update any values. For example, if you want to update the "Clicks" value:

local ls = Player.leaderstats
if ls then
    local clicksValue = ls.Clicks
    clicksValue.Value = clicksValue.Value + 1
    dataHandler:SaveData()
end

in this example, the "Clicks" value is incremented by 1 and then the SaveData function is called to save the updated value to the DataStore.
