How to detect an image and click it with pyautogui?

Question

I wanted to learn how to make the bot click the image, I tried watching yt tutorials but I can't find where's the mistake in the code, cause this is literally the first time for me using python, I tried the following code:

from pyautogui import *
import pyautogui
import time
import keyboard
import random
import win32api, win32con

time.sleep(5)

def click():
    win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0,0)
    win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP,0,0)

while keyboard.is_pressed('q') == False:
    flag = 0
    
    if pyautogui.locateOnScreen('benz.png', region=(0,0,1366,768), grayscale=True, confidence=0.5) != None:
                flag = 1
                click()
                time.sleep(0.05)
                break

                
                if flag == 1:
                 break

But I kept getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Program Files\Karim\autoclicker\main+stickman.py", line 17, in <module>
    if pyautogui.locateOnScreen('benz.png', region=(0,0,1366,768), grayscale=True, confidence=0.5) != None:

    retVal = locate(image, screenshotIm, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\bayan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 353, in locate
    points = tuple(locateAll(needleImage, haystackImage, **kwargs))
  File "C:\Users\bayan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 207, in _locateAll_opencv
    needleImage = _load_cv2(needleImage, grayscale)
  File "C:\Users\bayan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 170, in _load_cv2
    raise IOError("Failed to read %s because file is missing, "
OSError: Failed to read benz.png because file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format

Note: The benz.png file is in the same folder with the code, it's in png format, and is actually a photo (means it opens and shows a photo when you double click it)

There's probably a dumb mistake in the code that I don't know because I know almost nothing about python 🙃

I edited:

if pyautogui.locateOnScreen('benz.png', region=(0,0,1366,768), grayscale=True, confidence=0.5) != None:

to:

if pyautogui.locateOnScreen('C:/Program Files/Karim/Others/benz.png', region=(0,0,1366,768), grayscale=True, confidence=0.5) != None:

and it worked 👍
