Discord.py - Detecting Reactions in DMs, wait_for('reaction_add') incorrect Message

I'm having an odd issue when trying to detect a reaction on a sent DM. First, I'm checking if the !hello command is being run, then sending the author of that message a DM asking if they like the bot. The user is to input their opinion using the Reactions and get a response in the original channel of the !hello command. What I have found is that the message it is wait_for is not the sent DM, but the previously sent !hello command. Perhaps I have overlooked something in documentation, but how do I change what message the Bot should be listening for? Any help or pointers in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

import discord
import asyncio

# Set up the bot
token = "TOKEN"
intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, message_content=True, guilds=True, reactions=True)
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)


@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith("!hello"):
        try:
            # Send the DM
            dm = await message.author.send("Hello! Do you like this bot? React with 🇾 or 🇳")
            # React to the message with the options
            await dm.add_reaction('🇾')
            await dm.add_reaction('🇳')
            # Wait for the user's reaction
            def check(reaction, user):
                return user != client.user and str(reaction.emoji) in ['🇾', '🇳']
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=15.0, check=check)
            # Do something with the reaction
            if str(reaction.emoji) == '🇾':
                await message.channel.send(f'{user.name} liked the bot')
            elif str(reaction.emoji) == '🇳':
                await message.channel.send(f'{user.name} did not like the bot')
        except discord.Forbidden:
            await message.channel.send("I'm sorry, I am unable to send you a DM.")
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await message.channel.send("You did not react in time.")

client.run(token)

I have gone through several Stack Overflow posts describing similar issues, but none have explicitly solved my problem. The biggest thing I suspect could be intents, but I cannot pinpoint which intents nor Discord Developer Portal Permissions that have to be enabled. And I would prefer to keep my bot not fully capable of destroying a server with Admin Permissions.

The solution to the problem I was having lies in Intents. The necessary Intent required for a Bot to read reactions using wait_for('reaction_add') within a DM are the GUILD_MEMBER Privileged Intents. (Not realising they are separate from Bot Permissions) All that had to be done was include members=True within my set of subscribed Intents. Example from code above: intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, message_content=True, guilds=True, reactions=True, members=True)

Here is where the required Privileged Intent can be found within the Developer Portal

Hope this helps someone with the same issue I had.
