Instagram Business Account Not Recognized Until Linked to Facebook Page

When attempting to connect an Instagram Business account, a pop-up message indicated that the account was not a business account, despite being set up as one. The issue was caused by the Instagram account not being linked to its corresponding Facebook page. After linking the Instagram account to the Facebook page, the connection process was completed successfully and was able to link to Social AI with no issues.
