Alteryx SharePoint Input tool "Authentication failed." - HELP!

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble using the Alteryx SharePoint Input tool. It keeps returning the error "Authentication failed." My Alteryx version is 2024.1 and the tool version is 2.6.3. Attach my error and my actual settings. I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!

Most likely your authentication is failing due to needing permisions in Microsoft Azure to create the connection to Sharepoint. Are you connecting to files or a list? Using browser authentication or service principle?

Thank you very much for your response. The tool is configured to read files, and the authentication is done via OAuth. The authentication in the browser is successful, and Alteryx is able to identify the file I want to bring into the workflow. However, when I press run, it returns the message 'Authentication failed'. I also read in the community that registering a key might resolve the issue, but even after doing that, the error is still present. I share some print of what i've done.
