Hello @nashrahkhan,

  1. The issue was the selector was not dynamic.
  2. The anchor position property was not set. default is auto still if the position is fixed you can set anchor position, which is much more feasible to capture data.

The zip file is attached for the project and the data is been extracted properly please check it.
