Tools won't copy into backpack

I’m trying to run a script that copies every tool in a folder in ReplicatedStorage into the user’s backpack upon joining, but the items won’t enter the player’s backpack.

function btools(p)
	local tools = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools
	if players:FindFirstChild(p.Name) then
		local bag = p:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		if bag:FindFirstChild("Stamper Tool") == nil then
			for i, tool in ipairs(tools:GetChildren()) do
				local copy = tool:Clone()
				copy.Parent = bag
				print("Copied ",copy," into ",bag)
			end 
			print("Gave tools to ",p)
		end
	end
end

When the script runs normally it still prints that it copied the tools to the backpack, but they don’t appear in the inventory. I also can’t set the tools to the StarterPack because the player must have a certain role to call the btools function.

I’ve tested the script by setting the copy.Parent to the workspace and the tools copied in without a problem. I also tried using Humanoid:EquipTool to no avail. The game also has a lot of scripts that connect upon the player joining, so could they be slowing down the player loading so much the backpack doesn’t load in time?

Please let me know if you have any possible fixes.

you dont WaitForChild("Backpack"), as the path for backpack is just player.BackPack. Could be wrong but idk.

Switched it to p.Backpack, unfortunately still doesn’t seem to work.

could be the function calling p, it might not be passing over upon joining instead try player: Player.

If it prints its in bag (backpack) then its the backpack not being found.

What happens if you try to put all the items in the character and seeing if that atleast works?

It seems to be able to get the player fine, I was able to assign the tools to startergear instead of the backpack and they loaded in without a problem. Not sure how that works.
