Why does this not save placed models and load them again?

So I've got some scripts that allow the user to place down rooms when they click on a button. They are both normal scripts in the workspace. I'm trying to make it so that the placed rooms are saved when they leave and load back in when they rejoin. This is my PlayerEntering script:

01function OnPlayerEntered(player)
02 
03    local DS = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore(tostring(player.userId));
04    local stable = DS:GetAsync('Build')
05    local container = game.Workspace.ModelsContainer
06 
07    for i=1,#stable do
08        local nm = container[stable[i][1]]:Clone();
09        nm.Parent = workspace;
10        nm.CFrame = CFrame.new(unpack(stable[i][2]))
11    end;
12end
13 
14game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(OnPlayerEntered)

This is my PlayerLeaving script:

01local list = {} -- list of placed models
02local container = game.Workspace.ModelsContainer --where the models are cloned to
03 
04for index, child in pairs(container:GetChildren()) do
05    list[index] = child  -- inserting the models into the array
06end
07 
08game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
09    local DS = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore(tostring(player.userId));
10    local stable = {};
11 
12    for i=1,#list do
13        stable[i] = {list[i].Name,{list[i]:GetPrimaryPartCFrame():components()}};
14    end;
15 
16    DS:SetAsync('Build', stable);
17end)

At the moment it is not working; do I need to start a server for it to work or is something wrong with it?
