Message interaction is null

is there still a way to get the interaction associated with the message? Because i have a bot where if you use a slash command it responds with a message with buttons. I want to limit those buttons to only the person why send the intiial interaction, but for some reason when i fetch the msg or get it from the button interaction the interaction associated with the message is null (unless its the first time you click the button for whatever reason) Now short of just making the custom id of the buttons the persons id, is there any way to get the interaction, or a wait to get who send the initial interaction.

I dont see how most of this is relevant but ok Node version: v22.3.0 DiscordJS version: 14.15.3 Might be a dc api issue, seeing as theyre moving to inteaction_metadata or smth Code:

const guild = await this.client.guilds.cache.get(interaction.guildId);
const channel = await guild.channels.cache.get(interaction.channelId);
const msg = await channel.messages.fetch(interaction.message.id);
console.log(interaction.message);
console.log(msg);

const guild = await this.client.guilds.cache.get(interaction.guildId);
const channel = await guild.channels.cache.get(interaction.channelId);
const msg = await channel.messages.fetch(interaction.message.id);
console.log(interaction.message);
console.log(msg);

The stack trace really isnt needed, it just that in the logs the value of interaction for the msg object is null unless its the first button press.
