Why does my custom inventory only organize icons correctly half the time?

I have a script that checks leaderboard stats and fills up to 8 slots with their appropriate icons, however, the script only seems to be able to delete icons properly about half of the time. It's a very sloppy setup but other than deletion problems it's served me well.

This is a module script in ReplicatedStorage

Deletion lines start at line 20, and everything else in the script works perfectly fine.
