Rectangle doesn't draw

I'm currently coding a game for university and I need a sidepanel for that. So I wanted to draw a rectangle on the side. Below you can see my code. We should just use PyGame for everything.

def drawRect():
    rect2 = pygame.Rect(SCREEN_WIDTH - PANEL_SIZE, SCREEN_HEIGHT, PANEL_SIZE, SCREEN_HEIGHT)
    pygame.draw.rect(screen, BLACK, rect2)

The rectangle doesnt pop up on my screen and I just cant figure out why.

In the Pygame coordinate system, the top left is (0, 0). Hence, the rectangle at the bottom is off the screen. Change the position of the rectangle:

rect2 = pygame.Rect(SCREEN_WIDTH - PANEL_SIZE, SCREEN_HEIGHT, PANEL_SIZE, SCREEN_HEIGHT)

rect2 = pygame.Rect(SCREEN_WIDTH - PANEL_SIZE, 0, PANEL_SIZE, SCREEN_HEIGHT)
