[FIXED] Script isn't inserting the player. How do I fix it?

--// variables //--
local debounce = false
local placement = script.Parent.Parent.Values.Placings
local amount = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.Amount
local finished = {}
local finishedplrs = {}

--// touched script //--
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
				local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name)
				if plr.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Dusty Rose") then
					print(plr.Name)
					for i, v in pairs(finishedplrs) do
						if v.Name == plr.Name then
							print(plr.Name .. " already finished.")
						else
							table.insert(finished, 1, plr.leaderstats.Team.Value)
							table.insert(finishedplrs, 1, plr.Name)
							print(finished[1] .. " - " .. finishedplrs[1])
						end
					end
					local debounce = false
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)
print(plr.Name)

works (line 16) but

print(finished[1] .. " - " .. finishedplrs[1])

doesn't work. (line 23)

Alright, I fixed it. Firstly, I completely forgot that in pairs() loops only loop for how many things are in a table. So first, I check whether something's inside. If it isn't there, it adds it in. If something Is there, it will check if it was already there. If not, then it will insert it in.

							for i, v in pairs(finishedplrs) do
								print("Checking player: " .. plr.Name)
								if v.Name == plr.Name then
									print(plr.Name .. " already finished.")
							else
								table.insert(finished, 1, plr.leaderstats.Team.Value)
								table.insert(finishedplrs, 1, plr.Name)
								print(finishedplrs[1] .. ": " .. finished[1])
								end
							end
						else
							table.insert(finished, 1, plr.leaderstats.Team.Value)
							table.insert(finishedplrs, 1, plr.Name)
							print(finishedplrs[1] .. ": " .. finished[1])
						end
