Message Collector help

Hey all, Im having some issues with message collectors in DM's.. i cant get the bot to actually collect anything at all when the user replies to the bot's dm? is it a code error or something else?

module.exports = {
    name: 'verify',
    description: 'Verify your order using your OrderID and email.',
    adminOnly: false,
    usage: 'verify',
    cooldown: 60000,
    async execute(message) {
        // Create a DM channel
        const dm = await message.author.createDM();

        try {
            // Send initial message in DM
            await dm.send("Please say something!");

            // Define a filter to only collect messages from the user
            const filter = response => response.author.id === message.author.id;

            // Create a message collector to listen for replies in DM
            const collector = dm.createMessageCollector({ filter, max: 1, time: 60000 }); // Adjusted time to 60000 (1 minute)

            console.log("Message collector started in DMs");

            collector.on('collect', async (msg) => {
                console.log(`Received message: ${msg.content}`); // Log received message
                await dm.send(`You said: **${msg.content}**`);
            });

            collector.on('end', collected => {
                if (collected.size === 0) {
                    console.log("No messages collected"); // Log if no messages were collected
                    dm.send("You didn't respond in time!");
                } else {
                    console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} message(s)`); // Log number of collected messages
                }
            });
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error sending DM:", error);
            await message.channel.send("I couldn't send you a DM. Please check your DM settings.");
        }
    }
};

module.exports = {
    name: 'verify',
    description: 'Verify your order using your OrderID and email.',
    adminOnly: false,
    usage: 'verify',
    cooldown: 60000,

        // Create a DM channel
        const dm = await message.author.createDM();

        try {
            // Send initial message in DM
            await dm.send("Please say something!");

            // Define a filter to only collect messages from the user
            const filter = response => response.author.id === message.author.id;

            // Create a message collector to listen for replies in DM
            const collector = dm.createMessageCollector({ filter, max: 1, time: 60000 }); // Adjusted time to 60000 (1 minute)

            console.log("Message collector started in DMs");

            collector.on('collect', async (msg) => {
                console.log(`Received message: ${msg.content}`); // Log received message
                await dm.send(`You said: **${msg.content}**`);
            });

            collector.on('end', collected => {
                if (collected.size === 0) {
                    console.log("No messages collected"); // Log if no messages were collected
                    dm.send("You didn't respond in time!");
                } else {
                    console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} message(s)`); // Log number of collected messages
                }
            });
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error sending DM:", error);
            await message.channel.send("I couldn't send you a DM. Please check your DM settings.");
        }
    }
};

😢 thank you

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
    ],
    partials: [Partials.Channel, Partials.Message, Partials.User, Partials.GuildMember, Partials.Reaction],
});

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
    ],
    partials: [Partials.Channel, Partials.Message, Partials.User, Partials.GuildMember, Partials.Reaction],
});

So im assuming this should now work

command handler is using the message partal;

// Command handler
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
    if (!message.content.startsWith(cfg.prefix) || message.author.bot) return;

    const args = message.content.slice(cfg.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
    const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    const command = commands.get(commandName);
    if (!command) return;

    command.execute(message, args);
});

// Command handler
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
    if (!message.content.startsWith(cfg.prefix) || message.author.bot) return;

    const args = message.content.slice(cfg.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
    const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    const command = commands.get(commandName);
    if (!command) return;

    command.execute(message, args);
});

code is saved and console is logging collector started and collected ended, but nothing in between
