I'm creating a connect 4 game in discord.py, using buttons to place pieces. Currently, it resends a new gameboard every time a piece is placed, with the buttons causing issues as they display "this interaction failed", even though its code ran fine. So is there a way to edit the message of the game board to prevent this issue?

def place(name, Line, row):
  open_file = open(name, "r")
  board = []
  piece = open_file.readline().strip("\n")
  for x in range(6):
    value = open_file.readline()
    board.append(value.strip("\n").split(","))
  open_file.close()
  Place = True
  while Place and Line != 6:
    if board[Line][row - 1] == ":white_large_square:":
      Line  = 1
    else:
      Place = False
  if not board[0][row - 1] == piece:
    Line -= 1
    board[Line][row - 1] = piece
    Line1 = ",".join(board[0])
    Line2 = ",".join(board[1])
    Line3 = ",".join(board[2])
    Line4 = ",".join(board[3])
    Line5 = ",".join(board[4])
    Line6 = ",".join(board[5])
    Lines = [Line1, Line2, Line3, Line4, Line5, Line6]
    phrase = "\n".join(Lines)
    new_piece = ""
    if piece == ":green_circle:":
      new_piece = ":red_circle:\n"
    elif piece == ":red_circle:":
      new_piece = ":green_circle:\n"
    open_file = open(name, "w")
    open_file.write(new_piece   phrase)
    open_file.close()
    return "Valid Move"
  else:
    return "Invalid Move"
