Drag item from inventory and follow mouse position

Hello everyone,

I have been looking online for a solution for the last two days but I can't figure out what is going wrong. I am following along with a tutorial in order set up a inventory where you can drag items from one slot to another. However for some reason whenever I try to drag the item it just spawns in the bottom left of the UI Canvas.

I am using the new input system and my UI is a canvas with Screen space - Overlay. The code to move the inventory item looks like this:

         private void OnDrag(GameObject obj)
         {
             if (_mouseItem.obj != null)
             {
                 _mouseItem.obj.GetComponent<RectTransform>().localScale = new Vector3(0.1f, 0.1f, 1);
                 RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle(
                     ui.transform as RectTransform,
                     new Vector2(MousePosition.x, MousePosition.y), ui.worldCamera,
                     out var move
                 );
                 _mouseItem.obj.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position = ui.transform.TransformPoint(move);
             }
         }

So far things I tried:
