How do i get OnTriggerStay2D to work?

Hello! I'm trying to get an object (Lets call this one the 'Planet' object) to gravitate towards another object (Lets call this one the 'Sun' object). The way i did this is to have a trigger collider in the Sun object much larger than it and when the Planet object is inside said trigger collider, a force is applied to the Planet object towards the Sun object. However i'm trying to use OnTriggerStay2D to detect if the Planet object is in the trigger or not, but i cannot for the life of me figure how to get to work. The problem is that the OnTriggerStay2D function is not running at all, i know this because i have a Debug.Log function that displays text when it should be detecting something, but it's not showing up in the console. Any pointers?

I know that other people had problems with OnTriggerStay2D and it's variants, but i've read them but it's still not working. Here is what i tried so far.
1. Both the Sun and Planet objects have Rigidbody2Ds on them, with the Sleeping Mode set to 'Never Sleep'
2. The Sun's rigidbody is Kinematic (I want it to be static for simplicity).
3. Gravity is disabled.
4. Each object is attached to thier own individual empty gameObjects
5. I am using 2D colliders/triggers for both objects.

Here is my code, it is attached to my Sun object.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class GravityRuntime : MonoBehaviour {
     Rigidbody2D affected;
     private Vector2 gravityDir;
     public bool debugLines;
 
     void Start () {
         Debug.Log ("Starting");
     }
 
     void OnTriggerStay2D (Collider2D influenced) {
         Debug.Log ("Collider Detected");
         affected = influenced.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
         Vector2 influencepos = influenced.transform.position;
         Vector2 starpos = gameObject.transform.position;
         gravityDir = new Vector2(influencepos.x - starpos.x, influencepos.y - starpos.y);
         if (debugLines == true) {
             Gizmos.DrawRay(affected.transform.position, gravityDir);
         }
         affected.AddForce (gravityDir * 10); 
     }    
 }
 

(Note: I know gravity falls off by the inverse square law, but the AddForce part is a placeholder.)

So, what do you think? Keep in mind that this is my first question and i probably missed some useful guidelines, if so please feel free to tell me.

Have an excellent day!
