AttachTo: "root component cannot be attached to other component in the same actor" when trying to spawn weapon at character socket

Question

I'm pretty new at Ue5. I tried to follow a YouTube tutorial about making FPS game with Unreal Engine. I'm now stuck with an error when trying to spawn a weapon at my character newly created socket.

The code:

Error log:

From what I noticed, the only difference in code is "AttachTo" function, it should be "AttachToComponent". But there is no such function.

I'm super new to Unreal Engine. Any suggestion, or maybe another method to spawn the gun is highly appreciated.
