I get an error while using the xpath for the dm button on instagram with selenium (python)

The error goes:

Quote:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="react-root"]/section/nav/div[2]/div/div/div[3]/div/div[2]/a/svg"}


What I have tried:

I used the following code:

dmbutton = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="react-root"]/section/nav/div[2]/div/div/div[3]/div/div[2]/a/svg').click()


I tried time.sleep() to check whether is due to loading time but nothing worked.
