Hello, I'm trying to emulate the flow shown below to move files that are deleted to a seperate Library instead.

It grabs the files recently added to the recycle bin, restores them, then moves them to a different library/folder.

Instructions I'm Following
https://www.tekki-gurus.com/preserving-deleted-files-sharepoint-online-power-automate/

My Issue is that the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" is only picking up files I have deleted, I need it to pickup the deleted files no matter who deleted them.
I have increased the "Subtract from Time" to 3 hours to check, and I can clearly see files that have been deleted by my collegues within the timeframe.

See URI and JSON below

What the full flow should look like; I had it all setup and it was working fine (for files I deleted), but for testing I've deleted all after the HTTP request for now as I can see the problem is there.

Screenshot of a Power Automate workflow for detecting a file that is being deleted on a SharePoint Online site and moving it into a custom Recycle Bin. The workflow triggers when a file is deleted, restores the file to its original location, moves it to a custom Recycle Bin, and finally adds the value of the Original Location to the file in the custom Recycle Bin.

EDIT**
I am Owner of the Sharepoint Site in question so have full control there.
I am not 365 admin of any type.
If its required, I can have my boss link his 365 admin user to the flow if that would sort the issue, he is a 365 Global Administrator.
