Instagram Web automation Python

I want to select a specific message in instagram DM's and then click the 3 dots on the messages and then click like, but the class name for the 3 dots and the like button isn't unique. How could I click on the 3 dots and then on the like button? Picture

I've tried selecting the DM's but they also have a non-unique class name.

This is the html of those buttons:

<div class="_ac72" role="listbox" tabindex="0"> <div class="xdt5ytf x78zum5"> <div class=" _acd3"> <div class="_acqt _acqu" role="listbox" tabindex="0"> <div class=" _ac1n"><div class=" _ac1r _ac1w"> <div role="button" class="_aa06" tabindex="-1"> <div class="_ab8w _ab94 _ab99 _ab9h _ab9m _ab9p _ab9- _abaa _abcm" style="min-height: 44px;"> <div class="_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad9 _aadf"> <div class="_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad6 _aade">Recep</div>

The current code I'm using:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

#accesses opened chrome page
opt = Options()
opt.add_experimental_option("debuggerAddress","localhost:1234")#code for the browser

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe",chrome_options=opt)#uses the chromedriver
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/340282366841710300949128171519796513495")#opens website

#waits until webpage loads, hovers over message
try:
    element_to_hover_over = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(text(),'At')]"))
    )
    hover = ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(element_to_hover_over)
    hover.perform()
except:
    print("hover didn't work")

dots = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "_abm0 _abl_")
dots.click()

^ accesses a chrome page which has Instagram already opened to messages page (manually)

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
