GetArrivingTeleportGui() is returning "nil"

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey! I’ve trying to make a custom teleporting screen, but when I do the function TeleportService:GetArrivingTeleportGui() it returns nil in the other place.

Place #1 | Local script located in StarterPlayerScripts

--!strict

--// SERVICES
local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TPS = game:GetService("TeleportService")
--// VARIABLES
--//--// REMOTE FUNCTIONS
local SetPlayersTeleportGui = RS.Communication.Remote.Events.SetPlayersTeleportGui
--//--// GENERAL
local PlayerGui = PS.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
--//--// GUI OBJECTS
local TeleportInterface = script:WaitForChild("TeleportInterface")
--// MAIN
SetPlayersTeleportGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    TeleportInterface.Parent = PlayerGui
    TPS:SetTeleportGui(TeleportInterface)
end)

Place #2 | Local script located in ReplicatedFirst

--!strict

--// SERVICES
local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local RF = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TPS = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
--// VARIABLES
--//--// SETTINGS
local Settings = RS:WaitForChild("Settings")
local SecondsUntilServerLock = Settings:WaitForChild("SecondsUntilServerLock")
--//--// CONSTANTS
local _OnTeleportGuiArrivedCooldown: number = 2

local _TransitionDuration: number = 0.5
local _TransitionEasingStyle: Enum.EasingStyle = Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential
--//--// GUI OBJECTS
local TeleportingInterface = TPS:GetArrivingTeleportGui()
--// MAIN
print(TeleportingInterface) -- prints "nil"
if (TeleportingInterface) then
    RF:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()
    
    local PlayerGui = PS.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") :: PlayerGui
    TeleportingInterface.Parent = PlayerGui

    -- there's still more code, but i don't think they're the issue
