Upload location not being "honored"

hey all, I finally got Immich up and running. I think this is going to be really nice for the family photos. I am having one small problem though. The drive I am using to store my photos isn't being used, and when I upload photos, they show up as broken images.

here is the compose:

      UPLOAD_LOCATION: /usb_element/photos
      REDIS_HOSTNAME: redis
      REDIS_PASSWORD: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
      TYPESENSE_API_KEY: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      TYPESENSE_HOST: typesense
    volumes:
      - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/immich:/data
      - ${DOCKERSTORAGEDIR}:/storage
      - /media/element:/usb_element
      - /media/sssd_1:/sssd_1

and when I go into the container I can see the folder (screenshot)
plus I can see the photos folder
root@1d13e0d7153b:/usb_element# ls -lah
total 4.0K
drwxrwxr-x 3 node node   20 Aug 14 19:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.0K Aug 15 14:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 node node    6 Aug 14 19:40 photos


Any thoughts as to what I am missing? when I try uploading a file i am honestly not sure where it is putting it, and when I login to the Immich interface, under storage it is only showing the 100GB of free space, not the 15TB drive I have
