why does this prompt the player to buy a model instead of a gamepass?

this script is from zednov's tycoon kit. I am trying to get the gamepass button to work but its prompting the player to take a free model instead of buying a gamepass.

for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Buttons:GetChildren()) do
		spawn(function()
		if v:FindFirstChild("Head") then
			
			local ThingMade = script.Parent.Purchases:WaitForChild(v.Object.Value)
			if ThingMade ~= nil then
				Objects[ThingMade.Name] = ThingMade:Clone()
				ThingMade:Destroy()
			else
				error('Object missing for button: '..v.Name..', button has been removed')
				v.Head.CanCollide = false
				v.Head.Transparency = 1
			end
									
			if v:FindFirstChild("Dependency") then
				v.Head.CanCollide = false
				v.Head.Transparency = 1
				coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
					if script.Parent.PurchasedObjects:WaitForChild(v.Dependency.Value) then
						if Settings['ButtonsFadeIn'] then
							for i=1,20 do
								wait(Settings['FadeInTime']/20)
								v.Head.Transparency = v.Head.Transparency - 0.05
							end
						end
						v.Head.CanCollide = true
						v.Head.Transparency = 0
					end
				end))
			end
			
			
			
			--inside the touched event is where the problem is I believe
			
			
			v.Head.Touched:connect(function(hit)
				local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
				if v.Head.CanCollide == true then
					if player ~= nil then
						if script.Parent.Owner.Value == player then
							if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
								if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
									local PlayerStats = game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
									if PlayerStats ~= nil then
										if (v:FindFirstChild('Gamepass')) and (v.Gamepass.Value >= 1) then
											if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PlayerOwnsAsset(player,v.Gamepass.Value) then
												Purchase({[1] = v.Price.Value,[2] = v,[3] = PlayerStats})
											else
												game:GetService('MarketplaceService'):PromptPurchase(player,v.Gamepass.Value)
											end
										elseif (v:FindFirstChild('DevProduct')) and (v.DevProduct.Value >= 1) then
											game:GetService('MarketplaceService'):PromptProductPurchase(player,v.DevProduct.Value)
										elseif PlayerStats.Value >= v.Price.Value then
											Purchase({[1] = v.Price.Value,[2] = v,[3] = PlayerStats})
											Sound(v, Settings.Sounds.Purchase)
										else
											Sound(v, Settings.Sounds.ErrorBuy)
										end
									end
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end)
			end
		end)
	end

The function you're looking for is PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId) to prompt the purchase of a gamepass rather than an asset.

Also, you should change where you check if they have the gamepass to use the new function MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId, gamePassId) instead of PlayerOwnsAsset()
