SQS Event Source not being created on AWS SAM Lambda function

Question

Please help. I have an AWS Lambda defined in an AWS SAM YAML file that has been deployed but does not create the event source along with it. Please, what could I likely be missing here? I have already tried adding certain permissions to the SQS and SQSPoller permissions to the Lambda but that did not work. I have already spent too much time on this already. Thank you very much

Events should be indented underneath Properties in your BootstrapFunction resource:
