Hey, I was trying to write a python bot that reads reddit comments and adds them to a playlist, but im getting the error http status: 403, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/3htsB9RNJiBZZ5ogUnBKXf/tracks : Insufficient client scope, reason: None

I don't know what I'm doing wrong in the auth, so any help would be appreciated.

import praw
from praw.models import *
import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
import time


reddit = praw.Reddit(
    username= 'reddit_username',
    password= 'reddit_password',
    client_id='reddit_client_id',
    client_secret='reddit_client_secret',
    user_agent='python:spotifyimporterbot:v1.0(by u/)',
)



sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id="spotify_client_id",
                                               client_secret="spotify_client_secret",
                                               redirect_uri="https://localhost:8888/callback",
                                               scope="playlist-modify-private"));



users=[];

submission= reddit.submission("reddit_submission_id");
print (submission.title)

submission.comments.replace_more(limit=None)
for top_level_comment in submission.comments:
     if 'open.spotify.com' in top_level_comment.body and top_level_comment.author not in users:
        
        #Print the comment
        print(top_level_comment.body)
        

        # Add the track to the playlist
        sp.playlist_add_items('playlist_id', [top_level_comment.body]);

        # Add the username of the user who added the music/comment to the set
        users.append(top_level_comment.author)

        # Sleep for 1 second to prevent going over the rate limit
        time.sleep(1)
