Zip a directory with subfolders and files without including parent directories in the zipped file

Before coming here, I've been looking for other topics and tested the provided answers and I'm still getting the same result.

So first of all, I have this folder structure.

uploads/
- student-records
-- John-Doe
--- files
---- Application 
---- Transcripts

I have to zip the directory files. The zip is working, just that it includes in the zipped the full path of the folder. Instead of the actual folder..

So I am getting this in my zip file laragon/mson/wp-content/uploads/student-records/John-Doe/files/...

Here is my actual code

$student = $student_first_name .'-'. $student_last_name.'_'.$student_id;

$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();  

$source = $upload_dir['basedir'] ."/student-records/" . $student . "/files/";

$zipFile = $upload_dir['path'] ."/student-records/" . $student . "/".$student.".zip";


// Initialize archive object
$zipArchive = new ZipArchive();

# Create a zip target
if( $zipArchive->open( $zipFile, ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE ) !== TRUE ) {
    exit("Unable to open file.");
}           

// create recursive directory iterator
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($sourceRelativePath, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);          

if (is_dir($sourceRelativePath)) {
    
    foreach ($files as $file) { 
        
        $filePath = str_replace( '\\', '/', $file->getRealPath() );
        
        if (is_dir($file)) {
            
            $zipArchive->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $filePath . '/'));
            
        } else if (is_file($file)) {
            $zipArchive->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $filePath), file_get_contents($filePath));
        }
    }
} else if (is_file($source)) {
    $zipArchive->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}

$zipArchive->close();

echo '<a href="'.$zipFileURL.'" target=""><span class="dashicons dashicons-download"></span> Download</a>';

}

I need some help so it doesn't include in the zip file the full path and just the folder files along with its subfolders and files only.
