Module script not wanting to check the bosses folder

Heya There!

I’m working on a bit of an enemy module for a PVE game I’m working on. There’s an issue with the module script however, and as you can tell from the title, there’s a section of the module script where it doesn’t want to check the bosses folder.

There is a strip of code in the CreateEnemy function where it checks to see if an enemy exists in either the Common or Bosses folder. Otherwise, warn and return. It seems to work on normal enemies, but not bosses.

Here’s a snippet of the module script.

--[[SERVICES]]--
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

--[[FOLDERS]]--
local EnemyFolder = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Enemies")
local CommonEnemiesFolder = EnemyFolder:WaitForChild("Common")
local BossesFolder = EnemyFolder:WaitForChild("Bosses")

--[[MODULE]]--
local EnemyHandlerModule = {}
EnemyHandlerModule.__index = EnemyHandlerModule

--//General
function EnemyHandlerModule:CreateEnemy(EnemyName, Amount)
	local RequestedEnemy = CommonEnemiesFolder:FindFirstChild(EnemyName) if RequestedEnemy == nil then
		print("Cannot find: "..EnemyName.." Checking the bosses folder.")
		BossesFolder:FindFirstChild(EnemyName) if RequestedEnemy == nil then
			warn("Cannot find enemy: "..EnemyName)
			return
		end
	end

		RequestedEnemy = BossesFolder:FindFirstChild(EnemyName) if not RequestedEnemy then
			warn("Cannot find enemy: "..EnemyName)
			return
		end
	end
