I’m doing a gaming project for javascript learning and i’ve hit a road block. I think my code looks the same to my mentors but no effect. What’s wrong?

The square Id needs to be represented so i can connect it to the grid on my webpage. Im creating a whac-a-mole game. Very basic design. So every time the square that the ‘mole’ is on is clicked an event will happen.
squares.forEach(square => { square.addEventListener('mousedown' () => { if (square.id == hitPosition) { result++ score.textContent = result hitPosition = null } }) })
it’s not understanding my square.id for some reason

const squares = document.querySelectorAll(".square");
const mole = document.querySelector(".mole");
const timeLeft = document.querySelector("#time-left");
const score = document.querySelector("#score");

let result = 0;
let hitPosition;

function randomSquare() {
  squares.forEach((square) => {
    square.classList.remove("mole");
  });

  let randomSquare = squares[Math.floor(Math.random() * 9)];
  randomSquare.classList.add("mole");

  hitPosition = randomSquare.id;
}

squares.forEach(square => {
square.addEventListener('mousedown' () => {
    if (square.id == hitPosition) {
        result++
        score.textContent = result
        hitPosition = null
    }
})
})

function moveMole() {
  let timerId = null;

  timerId = setInterval(randomSquare, 500);
}

moveMole();
