Documents folder not pinning to Quick Access

It's a full clean install of windows 11 done yesterday. Everything is working absolutely fine but I accidently unpinned the documents folder from the quick access menu and I can't seem to be able to pin my most important Documents folder back in the quick access. I always keep it there for quick access. But I can pin every other thing in the quick access. So, the problem is the documents folder and other personal folders like documents, pictures, movies, videos, music etc. Please anyone help me.
