Did you try navigate from your root to the target file? 👈👍 Just so, for check...
Fist do list with an empty path - list of the root actually. Next do list with the folder name you expected exactly as shown up in the previous call and so forth till to the file name.

Dump the path constructed in your method, compare with the working one, and figure your mistake out.
Good luck.
