I am making a call to the linkedin images API to initialize an upload. I am using insomnia to make the call, I have the access token that is not expired (created 4 days ago) with all the following perms/scope (r_1st_connections_size,r_ads,r_ads_reporting,r_basicprofile,r_organization_admin,r_organization_social,rw_ads,rw_organization_admin,w_member_social,w_organization_social). Here is the code for the call exported in python. I have all the correct perms, and the linkedin account is the campaign manager, but everytime i keep getting the 403 forbidden error included below.

“uploadUrlExpiresAt”: 1650567510704,
“uploadUrl”: “https://www.linkedin.com/dms-uploads/C4E10AQFoyyAjHPMQuQ/uploaded-image/0?ca=vector_ads&cn=uploads&sync=0&v=beta&ut=08zHQjMjAOLqc1”,
“image”: “urn:li:image:C4E10AQFoyyAjHPMQuQ”
}
