I've been developing my reaction roles feature in discord.py, it's not working

Question

I made a post about this yesterday and the code I was given didn't work, every time I try to run the command on a server that doesn't have the He/Him role, it gives me an error message saying that I have missing permissions

@bot.command(name='rolecreate', help='creates all the default roles')
@has_permissions(manage_messages=True, manage_roles=True)
async def rolecreate(ctx):
  Text= "React with :heart: to get the He/Him role!"
  Moji1 = await ctx.send(Text)
  reaction="❤️"
  await Moji1.add_reaction(reaction)
  @bot.listen() 
  async def on_reaction_add(reaction, member):
    if reaction.message.channel.id != 881380132789583892:
      return
    if reaction.emoji == "❤️":
                he_him = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name="He/Him")     

    if not he_him:
      he_him = await member.guild.create_role(name="He/Him")

does the bot have the manage roles permissions ? Without it you cannot create a role — LeSauvage, Aug 30 '21 at 02:38
@Scuffedsimon Its happening due to what LeSauvage said. In your server settings, place the bot role above the role you want to give to the users when they react and then give the bot manage roles permission by clicking on its role — ChaoticNebula, Aug 30 '21 at 04:50
@ChaoticNebula the role doesn't exist on the server and it's giving me a missing permissions error whenever I try to use it, despite the bot having full admin perms — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 04:54
In the discord developer portal, did you select the "bot" scope in OAuth2 settings and did you give it the necessary perms? If not so, I would recommend to re-invite the bot after doing this. — ChaoticNebula, Aug 30 '21 at 05:00
@ChaoticNebula Ok so the bot can now create the roles but it isn't adding them when I react, any ideas? also it's creating the role 6 times — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 05:01
@ChaoticNebula update: it's not creating the role 6 times anymore — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 05:16
Does it show any error? and check again if the bot's role is placed above the role created — ChaoticNebula, Aug 30 '21 at 05:25
@ChaoticNebula no errors for some reason, it's just not adding the role — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 05:28
[This](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52210855/give-role-when-a-user-add-reaction-discord-py) stackoverflow question might help — ChaoticNebula, Aug 30 '21 at 05:45
a modified version of that code is what I've been working off of this whole time — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 05:46
Ok that broke it, now whenever I run the command it gives me a 404 not found error in the console, despite me having an if not statement that should be stopping that — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 06:06
role1=He/Him by the way @bot.listen() async def on_reaction_add(reaction, member): if reaction.message.channel.id != 881773143113490442: return if reaction.emoji == "❤️": he_him = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name=role1) await member.add_roles(member, role1) if not he_him: he_him = await member.guild.create_role(name=role1) await member.add_roles(member, role1) crap it didn't format — Scuffedsimon, Aug 30 '21 at 06:07

hello this is my reaction roles and it works great make sure to make the json file and stuff

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

x = datetime.datetime.now()

reaction_roles_data = {}

try:
    with open("reaction_roles.json") as file:
        reaction_roles_data = json.load(file)
except (FileNotFoundError, json.JSONDecodeError) as ex:
    with open("reaction_roles.json", "w") as file:
        json.dump({}, file)


@atexit.register

sorry I'm late but TYSM for this code! I don't know how to make a json file in my IDE (replit) — Scuffedsimon, Nov 03 '21 at 18:10
