Ota not working on firebeetle 2

I cant get my firebeetle to do ota uploads. im using this example:
#include <WiFi.h>

#include <ESPmDNS.h>

#include <WiFiUdp.h>

#include <ArduinoOTA.h>

const char* ssid = "..........";

const char* password = "..........";

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);

  Serial.println("Booting");

  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.waitForConnectResult() != WL_CONNECTED) {

    Serial.println("Connection Failed! Rebooting...");

    delay(5000);

    ESP.restart();

  }

  // Port defaults to 3232

  // ArduinoOTA.setPort(3232);

  // Hostname defaults to esp3232-[MAC]

  // ArduinoOTA.setHostname("myesp32");

  // No authentication by default

  // ArduinoOTA.setPassword("admin");

  // Password can be set with it's md5 value as well

  // MD5(admin) = 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3

  // ArduinoOTA.setPasswordHash("21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3");

  ArduinoOTA

    .onStart([]() {

      String type;

      if (ArduinoOTA.getCommand() == U_FLASH)

        type = "sketch";

      else // U_SPIFFS

        type = "filesystem";

      // NOTE: if updating SPIFFS this would be the place to unmount SPIFFS using SPIFFS.end()

      Serial.println("Start updating " + type);

    })

    .onEnd([]() {

      Serial.println("\nEnd");

    })

    .onProgress([](unsigned int progress, unsigned int total) {

      Serial.printf("Progress: %u%%\r", (progress / (total / 100)));

    })

    .onError([](ota_error_t error) {

      Serial.printf("Error[%u]: ", error);

      if (error == OTA_AUTH_ERROR) Serial.println("Auth Failed");

      else if (error == OTA_BEGIN_ERROR) Serial.println("Begin Failed");

      else if (error == OTA_CONNECT_ERROR) Serial.println("Connect Failed");

      else if (error == OTA_RECEIVE_ERROR) Serial.println("Receive Failed");

      else if (error == OTA_END_ERROR) Serial.println("End Failed");

    });

  ArduinoOTA.begin();

  Serial.println("Ready");

  Serial.print("IP address: ");

  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

}

void loop() {

  ArduinoOTA.handle();

}

and it compiles and uploads but when i select the wifi port of the rirebeetle and upload to that i get this:
A fatal error occurred: Could not open 192.168.1.53, the port doesn't exist
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

I tried this exact same thing on a freenove esp32 i have and it worked fine, firewall is not the issue

Plz help
