add reaction to a reply message

console.log("Hello world!")

console.log("Hello world!")

i'm trying to add a reaction to the replying message at a slash command Code:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("react")
        .setDescription("test reaction")
    ,
    async execute(interaction) {
        const message = await interaction.reply("choice")
        message.react('👍').then(() => message.react('👎'));

        const collectorFilter = (reaction, user) => {
            return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === interaction.user.id;
        };

        message.awaitReactions({ filter: collectorFilter, max: 1, time: 60_000, errors: ['time'] })
            .then(collected => {
                const reaction = collected.first();

                if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
                    message.reply('You reacted with a thumbs up.');
                } else {
                    message.reply('You reacted with a thumbs down.');
                }
            })
            .catch(collected => {
                message.reply('You reacted with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');
            });
    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("react")
        .setDescription("test reaction")
    ,
    async execute(interaction) {
        const message = await interaction.reply("choice")
        message.react('👍').then(() => message.react('👎'));

        const collectorFilter = (reaction, user) => {
            return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === interaction.user.id;
        };

        message.awaitReactions({ filter: collectorFilter, max: 1, time: 60_000, errors: ['time'] })
            .then(collected => {
                const reaction = collected.first();

                if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
                    message.reply('You reacted with a thumbs up.');
                } else {
                    message.reply('You reacted with a thumbs down.');
                }
            })
            .catch(collected => {
                message.reply('You reacted with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');
            });
    },
};

(the main code of the function come of this link https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/reactions.html#awaiting-reactions) but i've got an error message

TypeError: message.react is not a function
    at Object.execute (/home/runner/discordjs/commands/react.js:10:11)

In order to react to a message the message needs to be fetched, so insteand of const message = await interaction.reply("choice") use const message = await interaction.reply({ content: "choice", fetchReply: true });

what sort of channel is this? is this a dm channel? if so, do you have the Channel partial? if not, do you have the Guilds intent?
