Can you parse and return components?

I had a button action row working just fine

...
        const leBtn = new ButtonBuilder()
          .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Secondary)
          .setEmoji(`${config.leRoleEmoji}`)
          .setCustomId("le_btn");
        const row = new ActionRowBuilder()
          .addComponents(tuBtn)
          .addComponents(suBtn)
          .addComponents(leBtn)

...
        const leBtn = new ButtonBuilder()
          .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Secondary)
          .setEmoji(`${config.leRoleEmoji}`)
          .setCustomId("le_btn");
        const row = new ActionRowBuilder()
          .addComponents(tuBtn)
          .addComponents(suBtn)
          .addComponents(leBtn)

But I wanted to centralise some code so I tried to make a function to create the button action rows and return them for later use

          const embed = await buildEmbedOptions(interaction, selectedOption);
          const row = await buildEmbedButtons(interaction, selectedOption);
          await interaction.reply({
            embeds: [embed],
            components: [row],
          });

          const embed = await buildEmbedOptions(interaction, selectedOption);
          const row = await buildEmbedButtons(interaction, selectedOption);
          await interaction.reply({
            embeds: [embed],
            components: [row],
          });

I can log the return of the action row fine:

buttons [
  { style: 'Secondary', label: '⚽', customId: 'tu_btn' },
  { style: 'Secondary', label: '📁', customId: 'su_btn' },
  { style: 'Secondary', label: '👍', customId: 'le_btn' },
]
final row [
  ActionRowBuilder {
    data: { type: 1 },
    components: [
      [ButtonBuilder],
      [ButtonBuilder],
      [ButtonBuilder],
    ]
  }
]

buttons [
  { style: 'Secondary', label: '⚽', customId: 'tu_btn' },
  { style: 'Secondary', label: '📁', customId: 'su_btn' },
  { style: 'Secondary', label: '👍', customId: 'le_btn' },
]
final row [
  ActionRowBuilder {
    data: { type: 1 },
    components: [
      [ButtonBuilder],
      [ButtonBuilder],
      [ButtonBuilder],
    ]
  }
]

But I get this error when trying to send them

            footer: [Object]
          }
        ],
        components: [ { '0': [Object], type: 1, components: [] } ],

Normally I do stay to one channel, I run a support server myself. Wasn't sure if that was more of a chat channel so switched over to a forum Honestly... I added in the logs to send your way and it started working. Idk why, idk what I changed... I've been going in circles for hours troubleshooting line by line... 🤷‍♂️ You must be my good luck charm idk

I added logs at every stage, switched the logic in the for each loop, lowered my array to 1 object... I'd tried everything I could think of. But I appreciate your time
