using rest API to update server banner

I'm trying to use the REST api to update my server banner. The problem is that it seems to work - the await rest.patch() line does not throw an error, and it returns the guild object (which I believe it so be expected upon success). But when I look at my server, the banner is unchanged. I thought it might be cached, but I did a hard refresh on the website, and also waiting 12 hours. What am I doing wrong?

//import .env variables
import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();
import promises from 'fs/promises';
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';
import { glob } from 'glob';


const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN);

(async () => {
    try {

        //get guild data
        let guild = await rest.get(Routes.guild(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID));
        console.log('Got guild "'+ guild.name +'"');
        let guildHasBanner = guild.features.includes('BANNER');
        console.log('Guild has banner: ', guildHasBanner, guild.banner);
        if (!guildHasBanner) throw 'Guild does not have access to banner feature';

        //get banner
        let listOfBannerFiles = await glob('_banners/*.png');
        let randomBannerFile = listOfBannerFiles[Math.floor(Math.random() * listOfBannerFiles.length)];
        console.log('setting banner to: ', randomBannerFile);
        let imageData = await loadImage(randomBannerFile);
        
        //update banner
        await rest.patch(Routes.guild(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID), {data: {banner: imageData}});
        console.log('Banner updated successfully!');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

"@discordjs/rest": "^2.0.1", "discord-api-types": "^0.37.61", "discord.js": "^14.13.0", you need to use body, not data oh, thanks me, that was pretty obvious yeah, someone should have been able to see that easily
