Read Below why

Why can't the bot kick a member?
The most common reason a bot fails to kick a member is due to role hierarchy. Discord prevents members (including bots) from kicking users with roles higher than their highest role. Ensure the bot's role is positioned above the role of the user you're trying to kick.
Important Security Considerations!
Granting kick permissions via custom commands should be done with extreme caution! Any member able to execute the command containing this function will be able to kick any user below the bot's highest role.
Recommendation: Avoid placing the bot's role higher than roles like "Admin" or "Head Moderator" to minimize potential abuse.
