Selecting and attaching newest attachment when modifying a sharepoint list item

Hello,

I am currently working on an approval flow using power automate and sharepoint list. My goal is to set up a list item where my drafting department can insert the preliminary drafts and supporting documentation then, on initial creation, it will go to a preselected approver who will "approve/reject" the package. Afterwards, the approver will add their "comments" file to the list item. Upon doing so, the "when an item is created or modified" flow will trigger again and go through a condition loop to compare if the approver is the same as the last modifier to the list. If yes, it will send an email to the creator of the list item with the attachments.

I currently have the approval flow working and pulling all attachments in the list item. It will pull all attachments and attach to the approval flow (which is what I want). However, when the approver adds their "comments" file I want the condition loop to pull only the latest attached files and send an email to the creator of the list item. Currently, I have a condition command that looks for attachments containing "comments" and appends them to array. However, when the flow runs it still attaches all attachments to the response email.

Is there a way for power automate to pull and attach only the attachments added during the modification cycle (cycles beyond initial creation) while still retaining the attachments that are already there?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
