Cannot create assets with c#

When using ScriptableObject.CreateInstance() I always get an error saying the script i am referencing doesn't exist. I found the documentation on ScriptableObject extremely vague, Unity docs is great for doing simple things but if you want to do something a bit more complex the documentation is practically useless in my opinion.

 Instance of interactionsContainer couldn't be created because there is no script with that name.
 UnityEngine.ScriptableObject:CreateInstance(Type)
 interactionAsset:CreateAsset() (at Assets/Editor/Interactions/InteractionAsset.cs:11)

I have tried different methods of writing the specific line but I just cant get it to work no matter what :(

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEditor;
 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 
 public class interactionAsset
 {
     [MenuItem("Assets/Create/Interaction")]
     public static void CreateAsset ()
     {
         interactionsContainer asset = (interactionsContainer) ScriptableObject.CreateInstance(typeof(interactionsContainer)); 
         AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(asset, "Assets/Interactions/Interaction.asset");
         AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
         EditorUtility.FocusProjectWindow();
         Selection.activeObject = asset;
     }
 }
