You are adding extra html elements here called <button> which is unnecessary. You are already creating radio button input boxes here with input type="radio"

Remove <button> elements and it should work.

Oh my gosh, you’re totally right I feel like an idiot lmao I guess I was somehow trying to use the same format I did when I created the submit button and got confused. Thank you so much! This makes so much more sense now.
