Gunicorn & Undetected chromedriver not running as a service - flask

Question

When running my Flask application through Flask normally, I encounter no issues and the "undetected_chromedriver" runs smoothly. However, to ensure that my Flask application runs continuously, I have created a system service to run it at startup. When I press a button within the Flask application to scrape data from a website, the "undetected_chromedriver" crashes abruptly. The following is the traceback I receive:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The command I use to run gunicorn through the terminal (which works) is: gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:leadpartner.sock --reload --preload -t 0 wsgi:app
And the service looks like this:
Unit]
Description=Gunicorn instance to serve Lead Partner
After=network.target
[Service]
User=abel
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/abel/LeadPartner
Environment="PATH=/home/abel/LeadPartner/env/bin"

The flask app itself runs fine with this service, only the chromedriver doesn’t.
I am having difficulty understanding the issue at hand. The only information I could find is that the error might be related to "undetected_chromedriver" not being able to locate the path of Google Chrome. However, when I run the Flask application through gunicorn in the terminal, it works perfectly fine. Upon examining the "undetected_chromedriver" initialization file, I discovered that it looks for "google-chrome," which is the name of the Google Chrome package I am using. I believe this cannot be the issue.
I hope someone here can help me fix this error.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I've come to find out that if i add:
chrome_options.binary_location = '/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable'
Then the script goes a little further. I am now getting another error:
