I am struggling to import media onto FCPX

When I press on the import button, and then navigate to desktop, it doesn't doesn't show me what's on my desktop in a drop down menu thing, even when I toggle it on and off, so I cannot access the files on my desktop, where all my videos are. Here is a screenshot. I have tried the drag and drop option, which works fine, but when it does that, it automatically copies files to the library, whereas I want to leave files in place. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is Monterey, and the latest version of FCPX

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

I have solved it now, I need to allow FCPX full disk access. It obviously changed my settings when it updated. Thank anyway for all your help, I have learnt something new about importing!
