my data doesn't saves when value gets changed by script. help?

ok so i made an datastore service but it doesn't works how it is supposted to.

when i change the value in the console, it just saves it and loads after i rejoin, but when i will change the value with script, for example simple clicking script that adds + 1 to the value, it just doesn't saves value.

here is the video of what it is doing and what not -- https://youtu.be/ktCxZFdqTXk

here is the click script-:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local clicks = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("clicks")
	
	clicks.Value = clicks.Value +1
end)

here is data save script-:

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	wait()
	local plrkey = "id_"..plr.userId
	
	local save1 = plr.leaderstats.clicks
	
	local GetSaved = ds:GetAsync(plrkey)
	if GetSaved then
		save1.Value = GetSaved[1]
		
	else
		local NumberForSaving = {save1.Value}
		ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumberForSaving)
		
	end
end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	
	ds:SetAsync("id_"..plr.userId, {plr.leaderstats.clicks.Value})
	print("saved?")
end)


and for the last script here is leaderstats script-:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local clicks = Instance.new("IntValue")
	clicks.Name = "clicks"
	clicks.Parent = leaderstats
	clicks.Value = 0
	
end)

i have no idea what i am doing wrong, beacause i am begginer and please help me fixing that.

Go to your game settings, then go to security, and make sure "Enable Studio Access to API Servers" is turned on - if this is off you will be unable to access datastores from Roblox Studio.
