Dashboards & Visualizations

When I import a csv, splunk doesn't recognise the header as a field

Hi everyone, i'm using splunk for a school project and I need to upload a csv to splunk to make data visualisations. When I upload the file and get to the preview, it seems to recognise the table headers but when I actually upload the file, the fields don't recognise the file headers as a field. I tried manually selecting the fields but it didn't seem to work well when I tried to visualise it. The csv data and what happens after I import it are below. Appreciate any help I can get!
