Instead of Thread.sleep(750); You should use Explicit wait for same. Here 750 is less than 1 second, Web page need some time to load, We can't define it with specific time. 

WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("Your Element")).click());

In Automation testing, XPath is the last option I use to locate the element. XPath is nothing but a possible unique path for an element, which contains a sequence of tags to form a unique path. It can be changed at any time.

I Suggest you test XPath while your test is running. Add a sleep time just before you use XPath and Inspect again. You will definitely get a different path this time.
