Power Automate saves Word Attachments to Sharepoint but they can't be opened

Hello,
I am having an issue where Power Automate saves my email attachments to Sharepoint but then I can't open the attachment.
If I upload the same file from my computer to Sharepoint it opens fine.
Has anyone encountered this problem or knows how to fix it?

    @Hardesh15 Thanks for the reply
    How can it be fixed? My flow is set to fetch attachments that are named a specific way and create them in Sharepoint. It does everything it should except create files that can be opened. I would post the flow except that I have been tweaking it a lot.
    Funny enough, when I use Get Attachment after the Condition, the files are created fine, however the condition is bypassed and unwanted attachments are also created

    @Nexus_Zero  Its know behavior of flow. if you will test the failed flow you will encounter this error.
