That's becaus private properties don't show up in the Unity editor. You either have to set it to public or specify in your code you want a private value to be visible in the edtor. You can do that by adding the [SerializeField] tag right before the property.

For more information about SerializeField you can check out the Unity documentation here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SerializeField.html

Best of luck!
