Multiple file upload saving only 1 file

Hello guys, i'm missing something here and cant figure it out!

the code below handles multiple file uploads; however, it only stores one file on the server, data is inserted in the database for all files including their unique hashes correctly, except for $tab->location ... it always points to the location of the only file that was stored on the server.

Any help is appreciated!

blade

<input type="file" class="custom-file-input form-control form-control-sm" name="files[]" multiple>

controller

 if($request->hasfile('files')) {

            foreach($request->file('files') as $file) {
