The action 'update' could not be found for Api::UsersController: - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am sending an AJAX request from my frontend to rails for a patch request but getting an action cannot be found error.
So far, I have double checked my routes and controller to make sure there were no mistakes. My create action is working fine which is in the users controller. Ive also double checked my AJAX request to make sure it is going to the correct url. My AJAX request is also for an AWS upload if that helps.
Here are my routes
namespace :api, defaults: {format: :json} do
resources :users, only: [:create, :update, :show]
resource :session, only: [:create, :destroy, :show]
end
root "static_pages#root"
end
here is my controller with the update action
class Api::UsersController < ApplicationController
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
login(#user)
render "api/users/show"
else
render json: #user.errors.full_messages, status: 422
end
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
render "api/users/show"
end
def update
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if #user.update_attributes(user_params)
render "api/users/show"
else
render json: #user.errors.full_messages
end
end
end
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password, :first_name, :last_name, :DOB, :gender, :prof_photo, :cover_photo)
end
end
Update: ajax request for AWS user photo upload.
export const updateUser = (userId, formData) => {
return $.ajax({
method: "PATCH",
url: `api/users/${userId}`,
data: formData,
contentType: false,
processData: false
})
}
Finally here are the server logs

Found the rookie mistake! The end statement for create action was all the way at the bottom (hence only my create action was working) Make sure to check your end statements!
