Having issues rendering a 2D rectangle on a 3D plane in OpenGL - c++

Question

I'm having issues rendering a 2D object in the 3D space in OpenGL. Whenever I compile my code I get a purple background, which is what I set it to. However, I do not see the object that I should be able to see. I think it's something wrong with the vertex shader, however, I am not completely sure.
Here is my code:

Answer 1

Your vertex shader fails to compiled because you missed the in type qualifier for the vertex shader inputs (attributes):
layout (location = 0) vec3 aPos;
layout (location = 1) vec3 aColors;
layout (location = 2) vec2 aTex;
It has to be:
layout (location = 0) in vec3 aPos;
layout (location = 1) in vec3 aColors;
layout (location = 2) in vec2 aTex;
