Why is it saying attempt to index nil with Backpack?

So I have this normal script:

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	local tool = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.BoxTool:Clone()
	local path = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player)
	tool.Parent = path.Backpack
	print(player)
end)

This script prints the player correctly. the path variable is fine. But whenever I try to access Backpack, it says attempt to index nil with Backpack. I tried this with FindFirstChild() and WaitForChild(), but it would say attempt to index nil with FindFirstChild() or WaitForChild depending on what I wrote.
