"Cannot set properties of null (setting 'innerHTML')" in Random Array Index Project

I am working on the "Random Array Index" Project and have completed most steps to the best of my ability. I am stuck on the step #6 of the script.js file (Set the innerHTML of the scoreOneElement and scoreTwoElement variables above equal to the dice roll variables you just created).

My code is here: https://w.trhou.se/bki9fjn63z

When I run the code, I get an error message in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'innerHTML') at HTMLInputElement.<anonymous>

The error code is line 53 of the script.js file. I have tried these two variations of the code on line 53 with the same results:

document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = score1; document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = scoreOneElement;

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Hello, I found one solution myself. I was not referring to "#score-1" If there are any other mistakes or other areas of improvement, please let me know! :)
