Failed cloudflared.service startup

Hello, I recently tried installing cloudflared.service though my PC crashed during the installation. Now whenever I try reinstalling, it pauses infinitely after I run sudo systemctl start cloudflared. Here is the logs for when I try starting up the service. I haven't had much luck online either.

@FloppyDisk 💾 how do you do this? how do you regenerate the tunnel token i mean i'll have to migrate over then right alright i'll give it a shot the command? the cloudflared tunnel login is different from the cloudflared.service i was able to auth with cloudflared tunnel login but the cloudflared.service still won't start ya this is the guide i went through i can create the tunnel locally but the background service doesn't work at all let me double check cert.pem is in this location but I don’t have any reference in it in my config in the guide they didn’t include how to reference it so this is all I have url: http://localhost:8000 tunnel: <Tunnel-UUID> credentials-file: /root/.cloudflared/<Tunnel-UUID>.json ya I do how do you find the token? when the cloudflare.service executes token run <token> regen but still the same errors as above I migrated it and ran the command and here's the error
