Livewire File Upload | Edit Image isn't working.

My edit profile form is working as expected except that I am unable to updated the profile image. Using chrome inspector -> network I can see that no request is being sent out when I choose an image meaning it is not being updated at all. However I don't see any errors anywhere.

profile.edit-profile.blade.php

<form wire:submit.prevent="submit">
             <div class="mt-3">
                 <label for="photo" class="block text-sm font-medium text-gray-700 leading-5">
                     Profile Image
                 </label>
                 @if($UpdatedPhoto)
                     <img src="{{ $UpdatedPhoto->temporaryUrl() }}" class="rounded-full w-32 h-32 mx-auto shadow-md">
                 @else
                     <div class="self-center justify-center flex relative">
                         <img src="{{ asset('storage/'.$photo) }}" alt=""
                             class="w-32 h-32 rounded-full shadow-md">
                         <label>
                             <i class="fas fa-pen cursor-pointer"></i>
                             <input name="UpdatedPhoto"
                             type="file" wire.model.lazy="UpdatedPhoto" class="hidden" />
                         </label>
                     </div>
                     @error('UpdatedPhoto')
                         <p class="mt-2 text-sm text-red-600">{{ $message }}</p>
                     @enderror
