Laravel Statamic app not loading images on live, works fine on local host. Have tried storage:link and all other solutions!

Hello!

As mentioned, the src’s for my images in a Laravel Statamic app on the digital ocean app platform just aren’t coming through. The alt text is there. These images work absolutely fine on local which I see as a common issue posted, I’ve tried all the fixes but none have worked for me.

• Have ensured that all my asset disks have urls and are public
• Have done storage:link
• Have increased the php memory limit with user ini
• Set env variables for url, app key etc
• Have NOT tried deleting the public storage folder as honestly, I don’t know how to do that on live through the console

I do think it’s an issue with the symlink in the file below, but I cannot figure out what is wrong with it. I’m sure it’s something simple but am banging my head against a wall figuring this out.

Any and all advice very welcome! Thanks
