Help with remote functions and events

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I’m still a beginner with remote functions and events, nothing I’ve tried works. Where does the server script with the event code go? I’ve been using the devhub code but it still hasn’t worked for me in what I’m trying to do.

hence:
nothing in this script works when trying to call these events or functions from the client

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local plrDatastore = dss:GetDataStore("playerData")

local addInventoryItemEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)
addInventoryItemEvent.Name = "AddInventoryItemEvent"

local getInventoryFunction = Instance.new("RemoteFunction", ReplicatedStorage)
getInventoryFunction.Name = "GetInventoryFunction"

--local access to adding inventory items. otherwise use inventory overrides for server side additions.
--saves to player's inventory table in the datastore accordingly
local function addInventoryItemFired(plr, reference) --reference is the item codename
	local playerData
	local userId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plr.Name)
	playerData = plrDatastore:GetAsync(userId)
	table.insert(playerData["inventory"], #playerData["inventory"]+1, tostring(reference))
	plrDatastore:SetAsync(userId, playerData)
	
end

addInventoryItemEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(addInventoryItemFired())

-- return the player's inventory
-- returns table
local function getInventoryInvoked(plr)
	local playerData
	local userId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plr.Name)
	playerData = plrDatastore:GetAsync(userId)
	playerData = playerData["inventory"]
	return playerData
	
end

getInventoryFunction.OnServerInvoke = getInventoryInvoked

The server side just goes in any regular Script
