local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local TierDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('TierDataStore')
local StrengthDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('StrengthDataStore')
local DefenseDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('DefenseDataStore')
local CoinsDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('CoinsDataStore')
local HealthMaxDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('HealthMaxDataStore')
local ExperienceDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('ExperienceDataStore')
local ExpNeededDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('ExpNeededDataStore')
local Stats = game.ReplicatedStorage.Media.Stats:Clone()
local StarterGui = game:GetService('StarterGui')

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        wait(2)
        local UserInterface = player.PlayerGui.UserInterface
        Stats.Parent = player
        Stats.Tier.Value = TierDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
        Stats.Strength.Value  = StrengthDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
        Stats.Defense.Value = DefenseDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
        Stats.Coins.Value = CoinsDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 100
        Stats.HealthMax.Value = HealthMaxDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 100
        Stats.Experience.Value = ExperienceDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
        Stats.ExpNeeded.Value = ExpNeededDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1000


        Stats.Tier.Changed:Connect(function()
            Stats.Tier.Value = TierDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, Stats.Tier.Value)
            print('saved')
        end)
        Stats.Strength.Changed:Connect(function()
            Stats.Strength.Value = StrengthDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, Stats.Strength.Value)
            print('saved')
        end)

If your game is FE and the gui is in StarterGui, then once cloned to PlayerGui, it becomes a local gui, meaning the server cannot see it, only the player can.

So what you need to do is either use RemoteEvents to tell the client to change something in that gui (which will probably take a while to script) OR place the gui i.e. in ServerStorage and clone it to the player's PlayerGui on PlayerAdded. That way it becomes a non-local gui which you can access from the server.

local UserInterface = game.ServerStorage.UserInterface

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    UserInterface:Clone().Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
    --if the gui gets removed when the player respawns, connect this CharacterAdded event aswell:
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
        UserInterface:Clone().Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
    end)
end)
