I have been trying to create a reset password feature on my project I have been able to successfully send the reset password link to the email but am having trouble verifying the link sent. I am using the check_token method from PasswordResetTokenGenerator but I keep getting this error check_token() missing 1 required positional argument: 'token'. Yet I have passed both required argument

bellow is my Error and code:
