Data Store not functioning, not sure what the error could be

I have a DataStore that saves Points and Wins, however I have a weird problem with it.

As seen down below, the DataStore will print out “Player Data saved successfully” when it works. It does that each time I leave the game. But the data does not actually save, the Points value stays at 0 when I rejoin the game.

I have BindToClose() working, so I do not know why this isn’t saving my data.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)


	local ls = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
	ls.Name = "leaderstats"
	local Wins = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
	Wins.Name = "Survivals"
	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
	Cash.Name = "Points"
	
	
	local data
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	data =	myDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Cash")
	end)
	if success then 
		Cash.Value = data or 0
		print(Cash.Value)
	else
		print("There was an error getting your data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data =	myDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Wins")
	end)
	if success then 
		Wins.Value = data or 0
		print(Wins.Value)
	else
		print("There was an error getting your data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash",player.leaderstats.Points.Value)
		print(player.leaderstats.Points.Value)
		myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Wins",player.leaderstats.Survivals.Value)
		print(player.leaderstats.Survivals.Value)
	end)
	if success then
		print("Player Data saved successfully")
		print(player.leaderstats.Points.Value)
	else
		print("there was an error when saving data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	wait(5)
end)

I followed this guys tutorial, and the error persisted. When I gain Points, it adds to the IntValue in-game. But whenever I leave, it only saves what my initial points were when I joined. No clue why this is happening even with two completely different methods.
