Prefab cant istiantiate through recources.load?

So I am trying to spawn a text thats a prefab like so, and for whatever reason it gives me 'The object you want to insitantiate is null' however I have triple checked that they are all named the exact same, and the prefab is named the exact same... Any ideas?

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class FloatingTextController : MonoBehaviour {

 private static FloatingText popupText;
 
 private static GameObject canvas;

 public static void Initialize()
 {
     canvas = GameObject.Find("Canvas");
     popupText = Resources.Load<FloatingText>("Prefabs/PopupTextParent");
     
 }

 public static void CreateFloatingText(string text, Transform location)
 {
     FloatingText instance = Instantiate(popupText);
     instance.transform.SetParent(canvas.transform, false);
     instance.SetText(text);
 }

}
